Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 6,636 votes, 2.5× the 2,704-vote margin.

    6,636 ÷ 2,704 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 54.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 45.3% between them.

    (12,092 + 9,388) ÷ 39,263 = 54.7% · 17,783 ÷ 39,263 = 45.3%

  3. Turnout of 45.5% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    45.5 − 40.9 = +4.6

  4. The margin widened from 3.4 pp in 1961 to 6.9 pp.

    6.9 − 3.4 = +3.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1961, PRAGAT in 1967.
