Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 70.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 25.9% between them.

    (17,298 + 7,292) ÷ 34,847 = 70.6% · 9,020 ÷ 34,847 = 25.9%

  2. Turnout of 36.8% was 5.0 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    36.8 − 41.8 = −5.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 37.6 pp in 1974 to 28.7 pp.

    28.7 − 37.6 = −8.9 pp

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

    1974 SWA · 1977 JNP
