Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 60.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 39.5% between them.

    (94,864 + 48,137) ÷ 2,36,414 = 60.5% · 93,413 ÷ 2,36,414 = 39.5%

  2. Turnout of 51.0% was 1.4 pp below the state's median seat (52.4%).

    51.0 − 52.4 = −1.4

  3. The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 1962 to 19.8 pp.

    19.8 − 1.6 = +18.2 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1962.
