Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 3,312 votes, 1.5× the 2,190-vote margin.

    3,312 ÷ 2,190 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 63.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 37.0% between them.

    (7,584 + 5,394) ÷ 20,600 = 63.0% · 7,622 ÷ 20,600 = 37.0%

  3. Turnout of 22.9% was 16.3 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    22.9 − 39.2 = −16.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.0 pp in 1967 to 10.6 pp.

    10.6 − 13.0 = −2.4 pp

  5. SWA held the seat it won in 1967.
