Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JP polled 2,552 votes, 1.8× the 1,458-vote margin.

    2,552 ÷ 1,458 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 83.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 13.3% between them.

    (8,756 + 7,298) ÷ 19,176 = 83.7% · 2,552 ÷ 19,176 = 13.3%

  3. Turnout of 24.1% was 17.7 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    24.1 − 41.8 = −17.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.2 pp in 1974 to 7.6 pp.

    7.6 − 21.2 = −13.6 pp

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

    1974 INC · 1977 JNP
