Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 24.9% between them.

    (20,742 + 10,509) ÷ 42,577 = 73.4% · 10,583 ÷ 42,577 = 24.9%

  2. Turnout of 44.3% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    44.3 − 41.8 = +2.5

  3. The margin widened from 1.4 pp in 1974 to 24.0 pp.

    24.0 − 1.4 = +22.6 pp

  4. Arun Dey, the 1974 winner, finished second in 1977.

    1974 winner name = 1977 runner-up name
