Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 38,015 votes, 1.8× the 20,731-vote margin.

    38,015 ÷ 20,731 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 58.8% of votes; the other 3 candidates 36.4% between them.

    (79,899 + 59,168) ÷ 2,36,328 = 58.8% · 86,035 ÷ 2,36,328 = 36.4%

  3. Turnout of 45.9% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (45.0%).

    45.9 − 45.0 = +0.9

  4. The margin widened from 4.9 pp in 1962 to 8.8 pp.

    8.8 − 4.9 = +3.9 pp

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