Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed HSPDP polled 1,912 votes, 3.4× the 561-vote margin.

    1,912 ÷ 561 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 54.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 43.7% between them.

    (3,129 + 2,568) ÷ 10,544 = 54.0% · 4,605 ÷ 10,544 = 43.7%

  3. Turnout of 86.5% was 13.2 pp above the state's median seat (73.3%).

    86.5 − 73.3 = +13.2

  4. The margin widened from 0.2 pp in 1978 to 5.3 pp.

    5.3 − 0.2 = +5.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 1978, INC in 1983.
