Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (25,948 + 13,752) ÷ 43,842 = 90.6% · 2,985 ÷ 43,842 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 52.4% was 10.6 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    52.4 − 41.8 = +10.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.9 pp in 1974 to 27.8 pp.

    27.8 − 34.9 = −7.1 pp

  4. Bhagabat Behera also won in 1974.
