Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (3,13,060 + 20,134) ÷ 3,57,923 = 93.1% · 24,729 ÷ 3,57,923 = 6.9%

  2. Turnout of 63.2% was 5.4 pp above the state's median seat (57.8%).

    63.2 − 57.8 = +5.4

  3. The margin widened from 7.9 pp in 1967 to 81.8 pp.

    81.8 − 7.9 = +73.9 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
