Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 5,648 votes, 141× the 40-vote margin.

    5,648 ÷ 40 = 141.2

  2. The top two polled 66.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 33.4% between them.

    (7,487 + 7,447) ÷ 22,422 = 66.6% · 7,488 ÷ 22,422 = 33.4%

  3. Turnout of 26.7% was 12.5 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    26.7 − 39.2 = −12.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.8 pp in 1967 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 2.8 = −2.6 pp

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