Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 5,293 votes, 1.9× the 2,805-vote margin.

    5,293 ÷ 2,805 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 59.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 40.7% between them.

    (10,370 + 7,565) ÷ 30,262 = 59.3% · 12,327 ÷ 30,262 = 40.7%

  3. Turnout of 40.7% was 1.5 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    40.7 − 39.2 = +1.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 31.6 pp in 1967 to 9.3 pp.

    9.3 − 31.6 = −22.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JC in 1967, UC in 1971.

    1967 JC · 1971 UC
