Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 18.2% between them.

    (20,683 + 9,340) ÷ 37,572 = 79.9% · 6,856 ÷ 37,572 = 18.2%

  2. Turnout of 47.8% was 6.0 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    47.8 − 41.8 = +6.0

  3. The margin widened from 6.7 pp in 1974 to 30.2 pp.

    30.2 − 6.7 = +23.5 pp

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