Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INCO polled 3,606 votes, 1.2× the 3,075-vote margin.

    3,606 ÷ 3,075 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 75.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 24.7% between them.

    (13,438 + 10,363) ÷ 31,627 = 75.3% · 7,826 ÷ 31,627 = 24.7%

  3. Turnout of 42.6% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    42.6 − 39.2 = +3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 33.5 pp in 1967 to 9.7 pp.

    9.7 − 33.5 = −23.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SWA in 1967, INC in 1971.
