Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.6% between them.

    (38,355 + 30,532) ÷ 72,522 = 95.0% · 2,583 ÷ 72,522 = 3.6%

  2. Turnout of 78.2% was 0.5 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    78.2 − 78.7 = −0.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 51.6 pp in 1977 to 10.8 pp.

    10.8 − 51.6 = −40.8 pp

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