Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 50.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 45.0% between them.

    (9,299 + 4,789) ÷ 27,907 = 50.5% · 12,547 ÷ 27,907 = 45.0%

  2. Turnout of 34.7% was 11.1 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    34.7 − 45.8 = −11.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.3 pp in 1977 to 16.2 pp.

    16.2 − 24.3 = −8.1 pp

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