Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 3,810 votes, 1.7× the 2,240-vote margin.

    3,810 ÷ 2,240 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 71.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 28.9% between them.

    (11,280 + 9,040) ÷ 28,585 = 71.1% · 8,265 ÷ 28,585 = 28.9%

  3. Turnout of 37.1% was 2.1 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    37.1 − 39.2 = −2.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 41.2 pp in 1967 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 41.2 = −33.4 pp

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

    1967 SWA · 1971 INC
