Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 61,012 votes, 2.9× the 21,097-vote margin.

    61,012 ÷ 21,097 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 60.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 34.3% between them.

    (1,04,484 + 83,387) ÷ 3,10,129 = 60.6% · 1,06,373 ÷ 3,10,129 = 34.3%

  3. Turnout of 56.6% was 11.6 pp above the state's median seat (45.0%).

    56.6 − 45.0 = +11.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 70.1 pp in 1962 to 6.8 pp.

    6.8 − 70.1 = −63.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1962, IND in 1967.
