Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JPSCC polled 5,122 votes, 1.3× the 4,036-vote margin.

    5,122 ÷ 4,036 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 72.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 24.7% between them.

    (11,208 + 7,172) ÷ 25,260 = 72.8% · 6,237 ÷ 25,260 = 24.7%

  3. Turnout of 30.6% was 15.2 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    30.6 − 45.8 = −15.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 30.5 pp in 1977 to 16.0 pp.

    16.0 − 30.5 = −14.5 pp

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

    1977 JNP · 1980 INC
