Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SUCI(C) polled 9,042 votes, 9.2× the 979-vote margin.

    9,042 ÷ 979 = 9.2

  2. The top two polled 63.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 33.3% between them.

    (21,332 + 20,353) ÷ 65,460 = 63.7% · 21,787 ÷ 65,460 = 33.3%

  3. Turnout of 67.5% was 11.2 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    67.5 − 78.7 = −11.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 29.1 pp in 1977 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 29.1 = −27.6 pp

  5. AIFB held the seat it won in 1977.
