Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 26.4% between them.

    (19,825 + 6,762) ÷ 36,110 = 73.6% · 9,523 ÷ 36,110 = 26.4%

  2. Turnout of 65.3% was 6.9 pp above the state's median seat (58.4%).

    65.3 − 58.4 = +6.9

  3. The margin widened from 18.0 pp in 1967 to 36.2 pp.

    36.2 − 18.0 = +18.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: PRAGAT in 1967, INC in 1972.
