Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 14.5% between them.

    (10,188 + 7,987) ÷ 22,464 = 80.9% · 3,254 ÷ 22,464 = 14.5%

  2. Turnout of 24.8% was 21.0 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    24.8 − 45.8 = −21.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 44.2 pp in 1977 to 9.8 pp.

    9.8 − 44.2 = −34.4 pp

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