Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 69.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 26.8% between them.

    (14,915 + 5,726) ÷ 29,823 = 69.2% · 7,979 ÷ 29,823 = 26.8%

  2. Turnout of 35.0% was 10.8 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    35.0 − 45.8 = −10.8

  3. The margin widened from 13.3 pp in 1977 to 30.8 pp.

    30.8 − 13.3 = +17.5 pp

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