Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 4,469 votes, 2.1× the 2,102-vote margin.

    4,469 ÷ 2,102 = 2.1

  2. The top two polled 78.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 21.8% between them.

    (17,723 + 15,621) ÷ 42,618 = 78.2% · 9,274 ÷ 42,618 = 21.8%

  3. Turnout of 49.3% was 10.1 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    49.3 − 39.2 = +10.1

  4. The margin widened from 2.1 pp in 1967 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 2.1 = +2.8 pp

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

    1967 INC · 1971 SWA
