Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 17.5% between them.

    (23,043 + 8,625) ÷ 39,128 = 80.9% · 6,833 ÷ 39,128 = 17.5%

  2. Turnout of 40.0% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    40.0 − 41.8 = −1.8

  3. The margin widened from 9.3 pp in 1974 to 36.8 pp.

    36.8 − 9.3 = +27.5 pp

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