Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.0% between them.

    (27,216 + 9,677) ÷ 40,995 = 90.0% · 4,102 ÷ 40,995 = 10.0%

  2. Turnout of 37.9% was 14.0 pp below the state's median seat (51.9%).

    37.9 − 51.9 = −14.0

  3. The margin widened from 24.5 pp in 1969 to 42.8 pp.

    42.8 − 24.5 = +18.3 pp

  4. Narsingh Baitha also won in 1969.

    1969 winner name = 1972 winner name
