Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.7% between them.

    (41,362 + 36,076) ÷ 94,203 = 82.2% · 12,932 ÷ 94,203 = 13.7%

  2. Turnout of 73.7% was 5.0 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    73.7 − 78.7 = −5.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 14.6 pp in 1977 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 14.6 = −9.0 pp

  4. Patras Minz also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
