Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 7,511 votes, 1.9× the 3,997-vote margin.

    7,511 ÷ 3,997 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 77.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 20.3% between them.

    (21,648 + 17,651) ÷ 50,501 = 77.8% · 10,240 ÷ 50,501 = 20.3%

  3. Turnout of 56.7% was 14.9 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    56.7 − 41.8 = +14.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.7 pp in 1974 to 7.9 pp.

    7.9 − 8.7 = −0.8 pp

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