Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 13.9% between them.

    (10,466 + 4,910) ÷ 18,158 = 84.7% · 2,524 ÷ 18,158 = 13.9%

  2. Turnout of 56.9% was 15.2 pp below the state's median seat (72.1%).

    56.9 − 72.1 = −15.2

  3. The margin widened from 29.3 pp in 1977 to 30.6 pp.

    30.6 − 29.3 = +1.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1977, INC in 1982.
