Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (22,995 + 16,289) ÷ 44,516 = 88.2% · 4,024 ÷ 44,516 = 9.0%

  2. Turnout of 64.2% was 14.5 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    64.2 − 78.7 = −14.5

  3. The margin widened from 5.9 pp in 1977 to 15.1 pp.

    15.1 − 5.9 = +9.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1977, INC in 1982.
