Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC(U) polled 5,162 votes, 2.3× the 2,241-vote margin.

    5,162 ÷ 2,241 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 59.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 37.3% between them.

    (7,691 + 5,450) ÷ 22,205 = 59.2% · 8,288 ÷ 22,205 = 37.3%

  3. Turnout of 27.3% was 18.5 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    27.3 − 45.8 = −18.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 29.9 pp in 1977 to 10.1 pp.

    10.1 − 29.9 = −19.8 pp

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