Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.7% between them.

    (11,751 + 9,048) ÷ 24,467 = 85.0% · 3,341 ÷ 24,467 = 13.7%

  2. Turnout of 80.4% was 8.3 pp above the state's median seat (72.1%).

    80.4 − 72.1 = +8.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 1977 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 12.0 = −1.0 pp

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