Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 62.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 37.8% between them.

    (9,294 + 3,982) ÷ 21,357 = 62.2% · 8,081 ÷ 21,357 = 37.8%

  2. Turnout of 32.4% was 6.8 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    32.4 − 39.2 = −6.8

  3. The margin widened from 22.2 pp in 1967 to 24.9 pp.

    24.9 − 22.2 = +2.7 pp

  4. SWA held the seat it won in 1967.
