Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 20.9% between them.

    (12,943 + 9,218) ÷ 28,026 = 79.1% · 5,865 ÷ 28,026 = 20.9%

  2. Turnout of 37.2% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    37.2 − 39.2 = −2.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 40.0 pp in 1967 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 40.0 = −26.7 pp

  4. SWA held the seat it won in 1967.
