Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.5% between them.

    (27,913 + 13,818) ÷ 48,390 = 86.2% · 6,036 ÷ 48,390 = 12.5%

  2. Turnout of 83.4% was 16.7 pp above the state's median seat (66.7%).

    83.4 − 66.7 = +16.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 48.9 pp in 1972 to 29.1 pp.

    29.1 − 48.9 = −19.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1972, JNP in 1978.
