Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 70.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 25.3% between them.

    (17,033 + 4,889) ÷ 31,226 = 70.2% · 7,890 ÷ 31,226 = 25.3%

  2. Turnout of 40.0% was 5.8 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    40.0 − 45.8 = −5.8

  3. The margin widened from 16.5 pp in 1977 to 38.9 pp.

    38.9 − 16.5 = +22.4 pp

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