Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.8% of votes; the other 3 candidates 26.2% between them.

    (15,204 + 10,720) ÷ 35,149 = 73.8% · 9,225 ÷ 35,149 = 26.2%

  2. Turnout of 56.0% was 11.6 pp below the state's median seat (67.6%).

    56.0 − 67.6 = −11.6

  3. The margin widened from 10.4 pp in 1962 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 10.4 = +2.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1962, CPI in 1967.
