Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 4.2% between them.

    (2,13,771 + 1,22,533) ÷ 3,51,178 = 95.8% · 14,874 ÷ 3,51,178 = 4.2%

  2. Turnout of 64.0% was 21.0 pp above the state's median seat (43.0%).

    64.0 − 43.0 = +21.0

  3. The margin widened from 23.6 pp in 1967 to 26.0 pp.

    26.0 − 23.6 = +2.4 pp

  4. BJS held the seat it won in 1967.
