Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 3.8% between them.

    (21,175 + 19,123) ÷ 41,895 = 96.2% · 1,597 ÷ 41,895 = 3.8%

  2. Turnout of 68.4% was 6.9 pp below the state's median seat (75.3%).

    68.4 − 75.3 = −6.9

  3. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 1965 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 0.3 = +4.6 pp

  4. K.K.Balakrishnan, the 1965 winner, finished second in 1967.

    1965 winner name = 1967 runner-up name
