Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 14,890 votes, 6.7× the 2,232-vote margin.

    14,890 ÷ 2,232 = 6.7

  2. The top two polled 63.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 34.5% between them.

    (18,052 + 15,820) ÷ 53,530 = 63.3% · 18,462 ÷ 53,530 = 34.5%

  3. Turnout of 52.4% was 10.6 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    52.4 − 41.8 = +10.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.9 pp in 1974 to 4.2 pp.

    4.2 − 15.9 = −11.7 pp

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