[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JNP polled 8,857 votes, 12× the 748-vote margin.

    8,857 ÷ 748 = 11.8

  2. The top two polled 45.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 52.6% between them.

    (12,646 + 11,898) ÷ 53,924 = 45.5% · 28,388 ÷ 53,924 = 52.6%

  3. Turnout of 68.7% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (70.4%).

    68.7 − 70.4 = −1.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.2 pp in 1977 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 26.2 = −24.8 pp

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