Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 4,847 votes, 1.6× the 2,962-vote margin.

    4,847 ÷ 2,962 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 52.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 47.7% between them.

    (9,014 + 6,052) ÷ 28,813 = 52.3% · 13,747 ÷ 28,813 = 47.7%

  3. Turnout of 41.7% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    41.7 − 40.9 = +0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.7 pp in 1961 to 10.3 pp.

    10.3 − 14.7 = −4.4 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1961.
