Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC(U) polled 11,182 votes, 5.2× the 2,132-vote margin.

    11,182 ÷ 2,132 = 5.2

  2. The top two polled 52.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 45.6% between them.

    (15,582 + 13,450) ÷ 55,440 = 52.4% · 25,295 ÷ 55,440 = 45.6%

  3. Turnout of 59.9% was 14.1 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    59.9 − 45.8 = +14.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.5 pp in 1977 to 3.8 pp.

    3.8 − 8.5 = −4.7 pp

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

    1977 JNP · 1980 IND
