Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 35.0% between them.

    (15,510 + 8,677) ÷ 37,215 = 65.0% · 13,028 ÷ 37,215 = 35.0%

  2. Turnout of 46.1% was 6.9 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    46.1 − 39.2 = +6.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 43.3 pp in 1967 to 18.4 pp.

    18.4 − 43.3 = −24.9 pp

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