Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 5,425 votes, 34× the 159-vote margin.

    5,425 ÷ 159 = 34.1

  2. The top two polled 59.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 40.4% between them.

    (6,483 + 6,324) ÷ 21,486 = 59.6% · 8,679 ÷ 21,486 = 40.4%

  3. Turnout of 30.0% was 9.2 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    30.0 − 39.2 = −9.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 36.9 pp in 1967 to 0.7 pp.

    0.7 − 36.9 = −36.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SWA in 1967, INC in 1971.

    1967 SWA · 1971 INC
