Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.4% between them.

    (39,093 + 32,826) ÷ 79,851 = 90.1% · 6,735 ÷ 79,851 = 8.4%

  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 widened from 0.7 pp in 1977 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 0.7 = +7.1 pp

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