Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 24.5% between them.

    (12,205 + 6,794) ÷ 25,163 = 75.5% · 6,164 ÷ 25,163 = 24.5%

  2. Turnout of 34.9% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    34.9 − 39.2 = −4.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 36.1 pp in 1967 to 21.5 pp.

    21.5 − 36.1 = −14.6 pp

  4. SWA held the seat it won in 1967.
