Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 43,594 votes, 9.3× the 4,695-vote margin.

    43,594 ÷ 4,695 = 9.3

  2. The top two polled 59.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 36.1% between them.

    (69,120 + 64,425) ÷ 2,25,954 = 59.1% · 81,544 ÷ 2,25,954 = 36.1%

  3. Turnout of 44.6% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (45.0%).

    44.6 − 45.0 = −0.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.6 pp in 1962 to 2.1 pp.

    2.1 − 15.6 = −13.5 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1962.
