Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.6% of votes; the other 1 candidate 1.8% between them.

    (23,253 + 9,525) ÷ 33,921 = 96.6% · 621 ÷ 33,921 = 1.8%

  2. Turnout of 41.4% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    41.4 − 41.8 = −0.4

  3. The margin widened from 7.7 pp in 1974 to 40.5 pp.

    40.5 − 7.7 = +32.8 pp

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