Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 23.4% between them.

    (21,992 + 4,869) ÷ 35,819 = 75.0% · 8,386 ÷ 35,819 = 23.4%

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

    34.6 − 41.8 = −7.2

  3. The margin widened from 8.0 pp in 1974 to 47.8 pp.

    47.8 − 8.0 = +39.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1974, JNP in 1977.
