Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 8,969 votes, 1.4× the 6,521-vote margin.

    8,969 ÷ 6,521 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 22.8% between them.

    (18,438 + 11,917) ÷ 39,324 = 77.2% · 8,969 ÷ 39,324 = 22.8%

  3. Turnout of 53.9% was 13.0 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    53.9 − 40.9 = +13.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 24.9 pp in 1961 to 16.6 pp.

    16.6 − 24.9 = −8.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1961, CPI(M) in 1967.

    1961 INC · 1967 CPI(M)
