Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 3,629 votes, 3.0× the 1,210-vote margin.

    3,629 ÷ 1,210 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 52.2% of votes; the other 7 candidates 47.8% between them.

    (7,138 + 5,928) ÷ 25,045 = 52.2% · 11,979 ÷ 25,045 = 47.8%

  3. Turnout of 30.2% was 9.0 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    30.2 − 39.2 = −9.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.4 pp in 1967 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 6.4 = −1.6 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
