Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 1.8% between them.

    (50,261 + 27,862) ÷ 80,370 = 97.2% · 1,410 ÷ 80,370 = 1.8%

  2. Turnout of 70.4% was 14.5 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    70.4 − 55.9 = +14.5

  3. The margin widened from 10.9 pp in 1980 to 27.9 pp.

    27.9 − 10.9 = +17.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC(U) in 1980, LKD in 1985.
