Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.0% of votes; the other 1 candidate 12.4% between them.

    (10,880 + 3,375) ÷ 16,969 = 84.0% · 2,107 ÷ 16,969 = 12.4%

  2. Turnout of 20.4% was 21.4 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    20.4 − 41.8 = −21.4

  3. The margin widened from 18.6 pp in 1974 to 44.2 pp.

    44.2 − 18.6 = +25.6 pp

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