Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (2,44,526 + 1,70,290) ÷ 4,35,474 = 95.3% · 15,999 ÷ 4,35,474 = 3.7%

  2. Turnout of 67.4% matched the state's median seat.

    67.4 − 67.4 = 0.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.6 pp in 1969 to 17.0 pp.

    17.0 − 34.6 = −17.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1969, INCO in 1977.
