Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JP polled 7,902 votes, 3.4× the 2,306-vote margin.

    7,902 ÷ 2,306 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 56.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 39.2% between them.

    (10,827 + 8,521) ÷ 34,280 = 56.4% · 13,429 ÷ 34,280 = 39.2%

  3. Turnout of 37.2% was 8.6 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    37.2 − 45.8 = −8.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.7 pp in 1977 to 6.7 pp.

    6.7 − 20.7 = −14.0 pp

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