Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 64.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 33.4% between them.

    (16,227 + 8,228) ÷ 38,191 = 64.0% · 12,741 ÷ 38,191 = 33.4%

  2. Turnout of 39.1% was 6.7 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    39.1 − 45.8 = −6.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 37.0 pp in 1977 to 20.9 pp.

    20.9 − 37.0 = −16.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1977, INC in 1980.
