[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,340 votes, 13× the 102-vote margin.

    1,340 ÷ 102 = 13.1

  2. The top two polled 80.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 15.1% between them.

    (10,167 + 10,065) ÷ 25,033 = 80.8% · 3,786 ÷ 25,033 = 15.1%

  3. Turnout of 34.6% was 7.2 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    34.6 − 41.8 = −7.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 28.6 pp in 1974 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 28.6 = −28.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SWA in 1974, INC in 1977.

    1974 SWA · 1977 INC
