Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.4% between them.

    (13,015 + 10,879) ÷ 27,263 = 87.6% · 3,369 ÷ 27,263 = 12.4%

  2. Turnout of 39.0% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    39.0 − 39.2 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 4.3 pp in 1967 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 4.3 = +3.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI in 1967, INC in 1971.
