Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 4.3% between them.

    (88,907 + 43,684) ÷ 1,38,600 = 95.7% · 6,009 ÷ 1,38,600 = 4.3%

  2. Turnout of 71.2% was 7.3 pp above the state's median seat (63.9%).

    71.2 − 63.9 = +7.3

  3. The margin widened from 12.8 pp in 1967 to 32.6 pp.

    32.6 − 12.8 = +19.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJS in 1967, INC in 1971.
