Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 14.1% between them.

    (27,430 + 21,379) ÷ 56,792 = 85.9% · 7,983 ÷ 56,792 = 14.1%

  2. Turnout of 59.2% was 9.3 pp above the state's median seat (49.9%).

    59.2 − 49.9 = +9.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.9 pp in 1962 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 15.9 = −5.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1962, SIKKIM in 1967.
