Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JP polled 6,306 votes, 1.1× the 5,968-vote margin.

    6,306 ÷ 5,968 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 74.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 21.9% between them.

    (13,647 + 7,679) ÷ 28,776 = 74.1% · 6,306 ÷ 28,776 = 21.9%

  3. Turnout of 35.4% was 6.4 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    35.4 − 41.8 = −6.4

  4. The margin widened from 11.6 pp in 1974 to 20.7 pp.

    20.7 − 11.6 = +9.1 pp

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