Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 4,983 votes, 1.9× the 2,640-vote margin.

    4,983 ÷ 2,640 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 58.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 37.9% between them.

    (11,997 + 9,357) ÷ 36,361 = 58.7% · 13,781 ÷ 36,361 = 37.9%

  3. Turnout of 46.4% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    46.4 − 41.8 = +4.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.7 pp in 1974 to 7.3 pp.

    7.3 − 18.7 = −11.4 pp

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