Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 4.7% between them.

    (22,792 + 18,023) ÷ 44,390 = 91.9% · 2,096 ÷ 44,390 = 4.7%

  2. Turnout of 41.9% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    41.9 − 41.8 = +0.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.4 pp in 1974 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 16.4 = −5.7 pp

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