Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 4.1% between them.

    (1,65,079 + 1,46,785) ÷ 3,25,111 = 95.9% · 13,247 ÷ 3,25,111 = 4.1%

  2. Turnout of 64.6% was 9.4 pp below the state's median seat (74.0%).

    64.6 − 74.0 = −9.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.4 pp in 1962 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 11.4 = −5.8 pp
