Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 3,756 votes, 1.3× the 2,961-vote margin.

    3,756 ÷ 2,961 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 79.8% of votes; the other 1 candidate 16.9% between them.

    (10,344 + 7,383) ÷ 22,217 = 79.8% · 3,756 ÷ 22,217 = 16.9%

  3. Turnout of 28.4% was 13.4 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    28.4 − 41.8 = −13.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 50.7 pp in 1974 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 50.7 = −37.4 pp

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

    1974 SWA · 1977 JNP
