Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 11,586 votes, 14× the 804-vote margin.

    11,586 ÷ 804 = 14.4

  2. The top two polled 42.9% of votes; the other 8 candidates 54.3% between them.

    (12,608 + 11,804) ÷ 56,967 = 42.9% · 30,930 ÷ 56,967 = 54.3%

  3. Turnout of 66.5% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (66.7%).

    66.5 − 66.7 = −0.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.7 pp in 1972 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 6.7 = −5.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1972, IND in 1978.
