Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 58.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 41.3% between them.

    (13,610 + 6,378) ÷ 34,060 = 58.7% · 14,072 ÷ 34,060 = 41.3%

  2. Turnout of 40.5% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    40.5 − 39.2 = +1.3

  3. The margin widened from 5.7 pp in 1967 to 21.2 pp.

    21.2 − 5.7 = +15.5 pp

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