Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 65.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 32.9% between them.

    (18,405 + 10,968) ÷ 45,113 = 65.1% · 14,832 ÷ 45,113 = 32.9%

  2. Turnout of 50.8% was 9.0 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    50.8 − 41.8 = +9.0

  3. The margin widened from 2.8 pp in 1974 to 16.5 pp.

    16.5 − 2.8 = +13.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1974, JNP in 1977.

    1974 CPI(M) · 1977 JNP
