Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SIKKIM polled 11,041 votes, 3.2× the 3,409-vote margin.

    11,041 ÷ 3,409 = 3.2

  2. The top two polled 77.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 22.9% between them.

    (28,016 + 24,607) ÷ 68,273 = 77.1% · 15,650 ÷ 68,273 = 22.9%

  3. Turnout of 63.2% was 10.3 pp above the state's median seat (52.9%).

    63.2 − 52.9 = +10.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.9 pp in 1967 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 7.9 = −2.9 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
