Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.1% between them.

    (45,914 + 25,895) ÷ 77,309 = 92.9% · 3,945 ÷ 77,309 = 5.1%

  2. Turnout of 71.6% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    71.6 − 78.7 = −7.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 42.0 pp in 1977 to 25.9 pp.

    25.9 − 42.0 = −16.1 pp

  4. AIFB held the seat it won in 1977.
