Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 7,956 votes, 6.1× the 1,306-vote margin.

    7,956 ÷ 1,306 = 6.1

  2. The top two polled 63.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 36.8% between them.

    (14,327 + 13,021) ÷ 43,300 = 63.2% · 15,952 ÷ 43,300 = 36.8%

  3. Turnout of 51.1% was 11.9 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    51.1 − 39.2 = +11.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.3 pp in 1967 to 3.0 pp.

    3.0 − 10.3 = −7.3 pp

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