Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (8,370 + 3,267) ÷ 12,791 = 91.0% · 1,154 ÷ 12,791 = 9.0%

  2. Turnout of 45.0% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (48.8%).

    45.0 − 48.8 = −3.8

  3. The margin widened from 14.5 pp in 1967 to 39.9 pp.

    39.9 − 14.5 = +25.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJS in 1967, INC in 1972.
