Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 18.4% between them.

    (1,82,036 + 51,004) ÷ 3,03,642 = 76.7% · 55,741 ÷ 3,03,642 = 18.4%

  2. Turnout of 47.1% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (45.9%).

    47.1 − 45.9 = +1.2

  3. The margin widened from 17.1 pp in 1977 to 43.2 pp.

    43.2 − 17.1 = +26.1 pp

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