Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 63.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 36.1% between them.

    (13,473 + 7,116) ÷ 32,227 = 63.9% · 11,638 ÷ 32,227 = 36.1%

  2. Turnout of 42.6% was 1.7 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    42.6 − 40.9 = +1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.9 pp in 1961 to 19.7 pp.

    19.7 − 25.9 = −6.2 pp

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