Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.3% between them.

    (1,79,894 + 15,955) ÷ 2,06,656 = 94.8% · 8,968 ÷ 2,06,656 = 4.3%

  2. Turnout of 32.7% was 39.6 pp below the state's median seat (72.3%).

    32.7 − 72.3 = −39.6

  3. SAD held the seat it won in 1969.
