Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 66.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 33.7% between them.

    (12,916 + 3,807) ÷ 25,215 = 66.3% · 8,492 ÷ 25,215 = 33.7%

  2. Turnout of 36.3% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (40.9%).

    36.3 − 40.9 = −4.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 40.6 pp in 1961 to 36.1 pp.

    36.1 − 40.6 = −4.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1961, SWA in 1967.
