Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SSP polled 38,985 votes, 2.5× the 15,762-vote margin.

    38,985 ÷ 15,762 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 48.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 45.2% between them.

    (57,349 + 41,587) ÷ 2,05,646 = 48.1% · 92,991 ÷ 2,05,646 = 45.2%

  3. Turnout of 38.6% was 6.4 pp below the state's median seat (45.0%).

    38.6 − 45.0 = −6.4

  4. The margin widened from 0.0 pp in 1962 to 7.7 pp.

    7.7 − 0.0 = +7.7 pp

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