Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 18.9% between them.

    (18,783 + 6,118) ÷ 30,696 = 81.1% · 5,795 ÷ 30,696 = 18.9%

  2. Turnout of 37.8% was 1.4 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    37.8 − 39.2 = −1.4

  3. The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 1967 to 41.3 pp.

    41.3 − 7.5 = +33.8 pp

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