Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 7,163 votes, 1.3× the 5,577-vote margin.

    7,163 ÷ 5,577 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 75.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 24.3% between them.

    (20,274 + 14,697) ÷ 46,212 = 75.7% · 11,241 ÷ 46,212 = 24.3%

  3. Turnout of 47.8% was 8.6 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    47.8 − 39.2 = +8.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 41.8 pp in 1967 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 41.8 = −29.7 pp

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

    1967 JC · 1971 INC
