Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 5.9% between them.

    (1,88,381 + 1,02,989) ÷ 3,22,935 = 90.2% · 19,152 ÷ 3,22,935 = 5.9%

  2. Turnout of 51.3% was 13.3 pp below the state's median seat (64.6%).

    51.3 − 64.6 = −13.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 38.0 pp in 1971 to 26.4 pp.

    26.4 − 38.0 = −11.6 pp
