Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.0% between them.

    (2,63,356 + 19,893) ÷ 3,14,605 = 90.0% · 22,058 ÷ 3,14,605 = 7.0%

  2. Turnout of 62.5% was 2.6 pp above the state's median seat (59.9%).

    62.5 − 59.9 = +2.6

  3. The margin widened from 15.2 pp in 1967 to 77.4 pp.

    77.4 − 15.2 = +62.2 pp
