About this data

Source: Election Commission of India, statistical reports for the 1977 Lok Sabha election (detailed results, list of winners, list of parties). Vote shares are of valid votes, excluding NOTA, as ECI reports them. Turnout here is votes counted (including NOTA) divided by electors, so it runs slightly below ECI's official figure, which also counts rejected votes.

The Janata Party's candidates stood on the Bharatiya Lok Dal symbol and are listed as BLD in ECI's report.

Constituencies of today's Telangana (16), Jharkhand (14), Chhattisgarh (11), Uttarakhand (5) are placed there by name; at the time they were part of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and a few boundaries straddled the present state lines.

2 seats were won unopposed, so no poll was held there.

Map boundaries are approximate and for illustration.
