Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 21.1% between them.

    (17,730 + 7,160) ÷ 31,542 = 78.9% · 6,652 ÷ 31,542 = 21.1%

  2. Turnout of 44.7% was 3.8 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    44.7 − 40.9 = +3.8

  3. The margin widened from 6.1 pp in 1961 to 33.5 pp.

    33.5 − 6.1 = +27.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1961, SWA in 1967.
