Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 20.2% between them.

    (19,560 + 11,620) ÷ 40,365 = 77.2% · 8,155 ÷ 40,365 = 20.2%

  2. Turnout of 46.3% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    46.3 − 41.8 = +4.5

  3. The margin widened from 13.7 pp in 1974 to 19.7 pp.

    19.7 − 13.7 = +6.0 pp

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