Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 11.6% between them.

    (37,624 + 21,897) ÷ 68,209 = 87.3% · 7,883 ÷ 68,209 = 11.6%

  2. Turnout of 75.5% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    75.5 − 78.7 = −3.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 61.4 pp in 1977 to 23.1 pp.

    23.1 − 61.4 = −38.3 pp

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