Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JP polled 3,399 votes, 3.9× the 867-vote margin.

    3,399 ÷ 867 = 3.9

  2. The top two polled 53.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 46.8% between them.

    (5,093 + 4,226) ÷ 17,526 = 53.2% · 8,207 ÷ 17,526 = 46.8%

  3. Turnout of 25.9% was 13.3 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    25.9 − 39.2 = −13.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.9 pp in 1967 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 9.9 = −4.9 pp

  5. SWA held the seat it won in 1967.
