Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 5,156 votes, 1.8× the 2,831-vote margin.

    5,156 ÷ 2,831 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 67.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 32.5% between them.

    (11,299 + 8,468) ÷ 29,292 = 67.5% · 9,525 ÷ 29,292 = 32.5%

  3. Turnout of 37.5% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    37.5 − 39.2 = −1.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 57.0 pp in 1967 to 9.7 pp.

    9.7 − 57.0 = −47.3 pp

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