Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SWA polled 6,489 votes, 1.2× the 5,227-vote margin.

    6,489 ÷ 5,227 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 50.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 49.6% between them.

    (11,796 + 6,569) ÷ 36,445 = 50.4% · 18,080 ÷ 36,445 = 49.6%

  3. Turnout of 52.1% was 12.9 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    52.1 − 39.2 = +12.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 32.8 pp in 1967 to 14.3 pp.

    14.3 − 32.8 = −18.5 pp

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

    1967 PRAGAT · 1971 INC
