Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 14.1% between them.

    (21,483 + 17,625) ÷ 47,230 = 82.8% · 6,668 ÷ 47,230 = 14.1%

  2. Turnout of 51.5% was 9.7 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    51.5 − 41.8 = +9.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.2 pp in 1974 to 8.2 pp.

    8.2 − 9.2 = −1.0 pp

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