Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 18.5% between them.

    (23,536 + 13,627) ÷ 45,618 = 81.5% · 8,455 ÷ 45,618 = 18.5%

  2. Turnout of 63.5% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (62.2%).

    63.5 − 62.2 = +1.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 43.6 pp in 1962 to 21.7 pp.

    21.7 − 43.6 = −21.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1962, IND in 1967.
