Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 23.5% between them.

    (10,348 + 6,734) ÷ 23,342 = 73.2% · 5,488 ÷ 23,342 = 23.5%

  2. Turnout of 25.4% was 20.4 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    25.4 − 45.8 = −20.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.4 pp in 1977 to 15.5 pp.

    15.5 − 31.4 = −15.9 pp

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