[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JNP polled 13,237 votes, 73× the 182-vote margin.

    13,237 ÷ 182 = 72.7

  2. The top two polled 64.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 32.6% between them.

    (17,568 + 17,386) ÷ 54,355 = 64.3% · 17,695 ÷ 54,355 = 32.6%

  3. Turnout of 62.4% was 20.6 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    62.4 − 41.8 = +20.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.4 pp in 1974 to 0.3 pp.

    0.3 − 7.4 = −7.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: UC in 1974, IND in 1977.

    1974 UC · 1977 IND
