Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,175 votes, 8.3× the 741-vote margin.

    6,175 ÷ 741 = 8.3

  2. The top two polled 59.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 40.3% between them.

    (10,063 + 9,322) ÷ 32,456 = 59.7% · 13,071 ÷ 32,456 = 40.3%

  3. Turnout of 51.3% was 10.4 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    51.3 − 40.9 = +10.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 56.4 pp in 1961 to 2.3 pp.

    2.3 − 56.4 = −54.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: GP in 1961, JC in 1967.
