Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 10,897 votes, 1.5× the 7,204-vote margin.

    10,897 ÷ 7,204 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 66.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 30.6% between them.

    (20,346 + 13,142) ÷ 50,387 = 66.5% · 15,409 ÷ 50,387 = 30.6%

  3. Turnout of 53.5% was 11.7 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    53.5 − 41.8 = +11.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 29.1 pp in 1971 to 14.3 pp.

    14.3 − 29.1 = −14.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1971, JNP in 1977.

    1971 INC · 1977 JNP
