Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 13.0% between them.

    (1,23,530 + 23,326) ÷ 1,68,799 = 87.0% · 21,943 ÷ 1,68,799 = 13.0%

  2. Turnout of 33.4% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (39.7%).

    33.4 − 39.7 = −6.3

  3. The margin widened from 31.9 pp in 1967 to 59.4 pp.

    59.4 − 31.9 = +27.5 pp
