Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 25.6% between them.

    (12,663 + 6,154) ÷ 25,658 = 73.3% · 6,559 ÷ 25,658 = 25.6%

  2. Turnout of 63.0% was 9.1 pp below the state's median seat (72.1%).

    63.0 − 72.1 = −9.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 37.7 pp in 1977 to 25.4 pp.

    25.4 − 37.7 = −12.3 pp

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