Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 20.0% between them.

    (1,42,222 + 29,920) ÷ 2,15,208 = 80.0% · 43,066 ÷ 2,15,208 = 20.0%

  2. Turnout of 61.7% was 2.2 pp below the state's median seat (63.9%).

    61.7 − 63.9 = −2.2

  3. The margin widened from 5.6 pp in 1967 to 52.2 pp.

    52.2 − 5.6 = +46.6 pp
