Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 7,643 votes, 4.1× the 1,882-vote margin.

    7,643 ÷ 1,882 = 4.1

  2. The top two polled 55.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 44.8% between them.

    (12,277 + 10,395) ÷ 41,109 = 55.2% · 18,437 ÷ 41,109 = 44.8%

  3. Turnout of 51.7% was 12.5 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    51.7 − 39.2 = +12.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.6 pp in 1967 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 16.6 = −12.0 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1967.

    1967 CPI(M) · 1971 CPI(M)
