Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 60.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 39.1% between them.

    (9,641 + 4,902) ÷ 24,218 = 60.1% · 9,470 ÷ 24,218 = 39.1%

  2. Turnout of 75.6% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (72.1%).

    75.6 − 72.1 = +3.5

  3. The margin widened from 7.3 pp in 1977 to 19.6 pp.

    19.6 − 7.3 = +12.3 pp

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