Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 6.0% between them.

    (19,625 + 11,389) ÷ 34,023 = 91.2% · 2,041 ÷ 34,023 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 40.3% was 5.5 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    40.3 − 45.8 = −5.5

  3. The margin widened from 10.7 pp in 1977 to 24.2 pp.

    24.2 − 10.7 = +13.5 pp

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