Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.5% between them.

    (1,77,922 + 1,26,347) ÷ 3,36,251 = 90.5% · 31,982 ÷ 3,36,251 = 9.5%

  2. Turnout of 55.8% was 3.0 pp above the state's median seat (52.8%).

    55.8 − 52.8 = +3.0

  3. The margin widened from 9.6 pp in 1971 to 15.3 pp.

    15.3 − 9.6 = +5.7 pp
