Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 59.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 40.7% between them.

    (10,680 + 5,615) ÷ 27,485 = 59.3% · 11,190 ÷ 27,485 = 40.7%

  2. Turnout of 40.6% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    40.6 − 39.2 = +1.4

  3. The margin widened from 7.7 pp in 1967 to 18.4 pp.

    18.4 − 7.7 = +10.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: SWA in 1967, JP in 1971.
