Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 3,510 votes, 3.1× the 1,131-vote margin.

    3,510 ÷ 1,131 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 64.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 35.6% between them.

    (5,426 + 4,295) ÷ 15,090 = 64.4% · 5,369 ÷ 15,090 = 35.6%

  3. Turnout of 20.8% was 18.4 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    20.8 − 39.2 = −18.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.5 pp in 1967 to 7.5 pp.

    7.5 − 22.5 = −15.0 pp

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

    1967 SWA · 1971 UC
