Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 36,423 votes, 3.0× the 12,138-vote margin.

    36,423 ÷ 12,138 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 70.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 24.9% between them.

    (1,03,710 + 91,572) ÷ 2,76,875 = 70.5% · 69,018 ÷ 2,76,875 = 24.9%

  3. Turnout of 50.6% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (45.0%).

    50.6 − 45.0 = +5.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.4 pp in 1962 to 4.4 pp.

    4.4 − 19.4 = −15.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: GP in 1962, PSP in 1967.
