Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 17.3% between them.

    (33,953 + 10,722) ÷ 55,361 = 80.7% · 9,599 ÷ 55,361 = 17.3%

  2. Turnout of 60.6% was 18.8 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    60.6 − 41.8 = +18.8

  3. The margin widened from 13.9 pp in 1974 to 42.0 pp.

    42.0 − 13.9 = +28.1 pp

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