Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 14.7% between them.

    (1,45,823 + 1,08,602) ÷ 3,11,107 = 81.8% · 45,826 ÷ 3,11,107 = 14.7%

  2. Turnout of 63.5% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (58.6%).

    63.5 − 58.6 = +4.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 61.3 pp in 1962 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 61.3 = −49.3 pp
