Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 11.2% between them.

    (26,448 + 20,832) ÷ 53,888 = 87.7% · 6,052 ÷ 53,888 = 11.2%

  2. Turnout of 66.7% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (64.2%).

    66.7 − 64.2 = +2.5

  3. The margin widened from 5.8 pp in 1977 to 10.4 pp.

    10.4 − 5.8 = +4.6 pp

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