Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PRAGAT polled 10,319 votes, 1.9× the 5,433-vote margin.

    10,319 ÷ 5,433 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 58.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 41.3% between them.

    (17,684 + 12,251) ÷ 51,010 = 58.7% · 21,075 ÷ 51,010 = 41.3%

  3. Turnout of 55.9% was 16.7 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    55.9 − 39.2 = +16.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.6 pp in 1967 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 19.6 = −8.9 pp

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

    1967 IND · 1971 UC
