Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 5.0% between them.

    (35,387 + 28,310) ÷ 67,517 = 94.3% · 3,388 ÷ 67,517 = 5.0%

  2. Turnout of 72.0% was 2.4 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    72.0 − 74.4 = −2.4

  3. The margin widened from 3.4 pp in 1980 to 10.5 pp.

    10.5 − 3.4 = +7.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: RSP in 1980, IND in 1982.
