A non-starter, he had entered the game in the second quarter and did not play in the third; he was the first freshman named Player of the Game. Washington quarterback Steve Pelluer was 15 for 29 passing, end Paul Skansi had four big catches, and linebacker Mark Jerue made thirteen tackles.

1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Second quarter
Michalanney again scored Norwood's first goal of the term. Although the scores were close, the signs for Glenelg were ominous when early in the second quarter, star forward Kernahan was awarded a free kick 20 metres out from goal almost directly in front, and missed his set shot. Then at the 13-minute mark, veteran ruckman Carey, still hampered by the thigh/groin injury suffered two weeks prior, was awarded a free kick at the top of the goal square, but being forced to kick with his non-preferred left foot, also missed his set shot.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Second quarter
It would not be until the approach of time-on that the Bays would eventually score their first major of the term through McInerney, who goaled from a dubiously awarded free kick to register his second for the match. Norwood responded from the restart of play, with McIntosh taking the ball cleanly out of the centre bounce and handballing to the running Fosdike, whose magnificent left foot kick from just outside the centre square carried through. Adler's missed set shot on the half-time siren gave the Redlegs a 22-point lead.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Third quarter
Norwood were first on the scoreboard four minutes into the second half; after Glenelg had successfully repelled several forays forward by the Redlegs, centreman Gallagher followed up an attacking play that started on the wing when Michael Aish intercepted a handpass from Holst, and steered through his first goal for the game. Glenelg replied almost instantly when a long kick into attack by Seebohm was cleverly knocked forward by Kernahan into the path of the oncoming Lunniss, who slammed through his first goal from point-blank range to bring the margin back to 23 points.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Third quarter
The ball then flashed back and forth for several minutes before a chain of Norwood handpasses found Neagle in the goalsquare for his third major. The Tigers again squandered several chances in front of goal before Kernahan finally converted his first set shot for the game 15 minutes into the quarter after being awarded a questionable mark. With Glenelg in need of fresh legs, Farquhar replaced Holst and was soon into the action, finding Kernahan with a nice pass.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Third quarter
From nearly the same position he had kicked his first goal barely a minute earlier, his set shot was off target, registering his third behind. Norwood made the Bays pay for their inaccuracy, extending the margin back out to 27 points at the 19-minute mark when Andrew Aish steered through his first goal after a messy passage of play.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Third quarter
Glenelg were desperate to stay in the contest, and after a scramble from the centre bounce led to a rushed behind, Duthy, who had been one of the Tigers' best in the quarter, gathered possession from Winter's kick-in and found Lunniss in the forward pocket. He registered his second goal for the game with an accurate set shot to reduce the margin back to 20 points. Moments later, Carey had another opportunity to further reduce Norwood's lead. This time, he attempted a set shot with his right foot, and his wobbly kick hit the post.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Third quarter
The 19-point margin would end up being as close as the Tigers got for the remainder of the match. As time-on began, Jenkins at full speed intercepted an attempted pass to McGuinness by Cornes and set off on a long run down the wing, bouncing the ball five times, but his centering pass was cut off by Marshall whose misdirected handpass trickled over the boundary line. From the throw-in, the ball came to Andrew Aish whose high kick into attack was well marked by Roberts contesting with MacFarlane. From a tight angle in the pocket, he kicked his second goal. Glenelg had one final foray into attack when McGuinness' long shot at goal fell just short and was rushed through. The siren sounded shortly after with Norwood leading by 24 points.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Fourth quarter
Having benefited from the week's break, the Redlegs pressed home their advantage. Two minutes in, Michael Aish kicked his first goal for the game, trapping the ball brilliantly under pressure in the goalsquare before picking it up and snapping it through. Neagle followed up with his fourth, chasing a desperate exit handpass from Farquhar and using his body smartly to bump MacFarlane out of the way before collecting the ball and finishing with a classy snap off his left boot. Moments later, Thiel's long kick into attack was crumbed by Andrew Aish who fired off a quick handpass to Neagle.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Fourth quarter
He steadied and kicked truly to bring up his fifth goal and with barely five minutes having elapsed in the final term, the margin had blown out to 43 points. The Tigers finally registered their first score for the term at the nine-minute mark when Lunniss smothered Winter's clearing kick from defence after he had taken a great contested mark. Going back after the ball Lunniss' screwed his punt kick towards the goalsquare, where Symonds took a clever mark and kicked his first goal to give Glenelg a faint glimmer of hope. That hope was soon snuffed out.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Fourth quarter
Keith Thomas ran on a grubby kick forward by Neagle, picking up the ball cleanly, taking a bounce and gathering pace with Cornes in vain pursuit before steadying and kicking a magnificent running goal. After successive behinds from Glenelg, McIntosh lobbed an easy pass to Jenkins, who had drifted unmarked into the forward pocket. McInerney's light push on Jenkins after the mark was enough for the umpire to award a 15-metre penalty, and from the set shot Jenkins made no mistake.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Fourth quarter
At the 20-minute mark, Norwood made it three in a row after skipper Turbill spun out of an attempted tackle and found Neagle on his own in the forward pocket. From the set shot, Neagle steered through his sixth goal to push the lead to 56 points, and the game as a contest was effectively over. Running on empty, Glenelg mustered enough fight to get back a goal through Carey, but Norwood replied almost instantly when Keith Thomas' kick into attack was read superbly by Michael Aish, who took a courageous diving mark and then steered through his second goal.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Fourth quarter
As time-on neared, Andrew Aish joined his younger brother on two goals, combining with Roberts in a one-two handpass maneuver to push the margin beyond 60 points. Fittingly, it was the Norwood captain Turbill who put the icing on the cake - with his 23rd kick for the game, he brought up the Redlegs' ninth goal for the quarter.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Fourth quarter
All Glenelg could do was add some late respectability to the score; Lunniss brought up his third goal, and then Carey was paid a free for kicking in danger, only to handpass to McDermott who missed from point-blank range, a passage of play which summarized Glenelg's dirty afternoon. The siren sounded shortly afterward to put the Tigers out of their misery and crown Norwood as deserving premiers of the season.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Aftermath
At the time, the win was Norwood's biggest and also their highest score. Half-back flanker Danny Jenkins was awarded the Jack Oatey Medal for his outstanding display of rebounding football. Other players to shine for the Redlegs included youngsters Garry McIntosh and Rick Neagle, acting captain Greg Turbill, who played through the pain of a broken rib and torn finger ligament.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Aftermath
In his match report for the Sunday Mail, chief football writer Ashley Porter praised Norwood's total team effort:


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Aftermath
Norwood's teamwork was impeccable, its approach on the ball fierce and relentless. Every player produced discipline over four quarters. Its ability to outscore Glenelg against the wind in the first and third quarters was a reflection of the outstanding efforts by its defence.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Aftermath
Although victorious coach Neil Balme was credited as the second Victorian after Mike Patterson to win an SANFL premiership, he promptly corrected Bruce McAvaney on the live telecast post-match interview, reminding him that he was originally from Western Australia.


1982 SANFL Grand Final, Match Summary, Aftermath
In the end, the toll of three hard-fought finals matches (and a six-day break before the Grand final) was telling on the Glenelg players. Captain Weston, who had been ill with influenza, was well below his best, along with several other key players for the Bays. To rub salt into the wound, it had been his fifth losing Grand final with Glenelg. Kevin Sheedy would use this fact to spur Weston when he played in the 1984 VFL Grand Final and finally tasted premiership success at Essendon.

1982 SMU Mustangs football team
A tie in their regular season finale against #9 Arkansas on November 20 caused the voters in both polls to drop SMU from second to fourth, costing the Mustangs the national championship.

Leroy Jones recovered a fumble two plays later, setting up a Benirschke field goal, before Winslow capped a 9-play, 86-yard drive by taking a catch over the middle and breaking away for a 28-yard touchdown.

Down 17-3, Denver recovered with consecutive touchdown drives either side of half time: Steve DeBerg threw for one touchdown and ran for another to tie the scores. Muncie's 34-yard reception was nullified by a penalty on the next drive, and the Chargers were forced to punt. Five consecutive possessions then resulted in turnovers, the last of these coming when Rick Ackerman sacked DeBerg, forcing a fumble that Keith Ferguson recovered at the Denver five-yard line. Muncie was stopped at the goal line on 3rd and goal, and the Chargers settled for a chip shot field goal.

After Denver levelled the scores early in the 4th quarter, Fouts led his team 87 yards to another touchdown, with completions of 28 yards to Joiner and 22 to John Cappelletti accounting for much of the yardage. Winslow pulled in a fade on 3rd and goal for what proved to be the winning score. Fox intercepted DeBerg on the next drive - he fumbled on the return but King recovered.

1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 5
Four first half rushing touchdowns saw the Chargers to a comfortable win.

Following an early exchange of punts, the next seven drives all produced points. The Chargers struck first, going 80 yards in 7 plays; Fouts found a diving Chandler in the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown on 3rd and 8. Montana led San Francisco 74 yards in 8 plays in response, scoring himself when he spun out of an attempted Ferguson sack and scrambled in from the 11. Chandler appeared to have struck again on the next drive, but former Charger Fred Dean had drawn a holding penalty from Billy Shields; the score was wiped out, and San Diego settled for a field goal.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 6
Running back Jeff Moore caught a 43-yard pass to open the next drive, and a 6-yard touchdown pass to finish it. James Brooks returned the ensuing kickoff 35 yards to the San Diego 40; after missing on one pass, Fouts then strung together four completions in a row, the final one a 25-yard touchdown to Eric Sievers. San Francisco responded with a game-tying field goal, leaving Fouts 2:07 to work with before halftime. He led the Chargers 85 yards in 11 plays, finding Chandler for a 25-yard completion and a 14-yard touchdown with 20 seconds on the clock.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 6
Three plays into the second half, Montana was intercepted by Jeff Allen.

This time, the Chargers responded in kind. Joiner caught a 43-yard pass up the left sideline, and Muncie caught a 3-yard touchdown with 3:22 on the clock. Moore converted a 4th and inches on the next drive, but San Francisco soon found themselves facing a 4th and 10 on their own 31. Woodrow Lowe then intercepted Montana; Cappelletti ran for 17 yards on the next play, and the Chargers ran the clock out.

1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7
Ken Anderson attempted passes on the first eight plays of the game, completing six of them as the Bengals reach 2nd and goal from the Charger one. Louie Kelcher then stuffed Pete Johnson for no gain, Anderson threw incomplete and Cincinnati settled for a field goal. Three plays into the Chargers' response, Muncie swept right before pulling up and launching a 66-yard touchdown pass to Chandler, who was wide open inside the 30. Anderson began the next drive with completions on five consecutive plays, and ended it by dodging Gary Johnson in the backfield and scrambling up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7
Following an exchange of punts, both sides missed opportunities. Fouts converted a 3rd and 19 with a 22-yard completion to Joiner, but was intercepted going for the same player in the end zone. Cincinnati then moved to a 4th and 2 on the Chargers 33, but Johnson could only gain one yard and the ball was turned over on downs. Three plays later, an errant Fouts pass went straight to Bo Harris for an interception he returned 62 yards for a touchdown.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7
The Chargers responded when Brooks swept left with a delayed handoff for a 17-yard touchdown, but Anderson was 9 of 9 on the next drive, including a 6-yard touchdown pass to Cris Collinsworth with 29 seconds to play in the half. That was just long enough for Fouts, who immediately found Chandler for 27 yards, and completed two more to reach the Bengal 24 with a second to play. Benirschke's kick made it 24-17 at halftime.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7
San Diego turned the game their way with 16 points in the first five minutes of the 3rd quarter. They went 82 yards with the first possession, Winslow gaining 40 of them with a single catch, and Muncie scored from a yard out. A penalty wiped out a long return of the ensuing kickoff, forcing the Bengals to start at their own 7; Gary Johnson burst into the backfield on the next play, and brought Anderson down for a go-ahead safety.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7
Three plays after that, Chandler broke a tackle and took a short slant in for a 38-yard touchdown and a 33-24 lead. A 49-yard catch-and-run by Collinsworth set up a Bengal field goal, before Winslow appeared to have extended the lead with a 38-yard touchdown. It was ruled out by a holding penalty, but the Chargers scored anyway, Brooks going straight up the middle on a 48-yard rush with the Bengals caught in a blitz.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7
Late in the 3rd quarter, a Muncie fumble set up Anderson's second touchdown pass, but the Chargers took over from there. A 32-yard Winslow reception led to a Benirschke field goal, and a 43-34 lead. Anderson led his team to the Charger 28, but then committed the lone Bengal turnover of the day - Fox's interception and 41-yard return gave San Diego the ball in Cincinnati territory. Catches of 19- and 20-yards by Chandler were followed by Brooks' one-yard touchdown to make the game safe.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7

It was the first regular season game in which both quarterbacks passed for over 400 yards (it had also happened in the Epic in Miami); Fouts became the first man to pass for 400 yards in consecutive games.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 7

The Chargers clinched a playoff berth with the win, the third consecutive season in which they'd done so on Monday Night Football.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 8 vs. Baltimore
For the third consecutive week, San Diego piled up 40+ points and 500+ yards; unlike their previous two opponents, the winless Colts lacked the firepower to make a close contest of it. Baltimore did manage to drive into Chargers territory on their first two possessions, but lost fumbles both times, with Cliff Thrift recovering both of them. Following the second of these, the Chargers drove 76 yards for the opening points, Winslow catching a 30-yard touchdown from Fouts. Benirschke added a field goal on the next Charger possession; this was followed by consecutive 4-play, 65-yard touchdown drives, with Chandler scoring his first touchdown (covering 41 yards) and Winslow his second (13 yards).


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 8 vs. Baltimore
Down 23-0, the Colts produced a mini-comeback, taking advantage of a pair of Charger turnovers and scoring 13 points on three possessions sandwiched around halftime. The Chargers quickly shut down the threat, driving 75 yards in 9 plays without facing a third down, with Brooks running it in from the Baltimore 8. Following a Mike Williams interception, Chandler hauled in a 44-yard touchdown, and Winslow later added a 28-yarder.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 8 vs. Baltimore
Fouts was 18 of 30 for 298 yards, five touchdowns and an interception. Winslow caught 7 for 120 yards and three touchdowns, while Chandler scored twice and gained 118 yards on just 4 catches. Chuck Muncie gained 126 yards on 16 carries. San Diego became the first team to gain at least 500 yards in three consecutive games; their total of 1,706 yards from Week 6 through Week 8 remains a record for a three-game span.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 9
Both teams had long-since clinched spots in the expanded playoffs, and were jockeying for position: the Chargers would be #2 with a win and #5 with a loss; Los Angeles could be as high as #1 or slip as far as #4. Wes Chandler continued his excellent form on the first San Diego drive, with catches of 27 yards (on 3rd and 17) and 21 yards setting up a Benirschke field goal. After Los Angeles put up the next ten points, Chandler drew a 43-yard pass interference penalty, giving San Diego a 1st and goal at the six. The drive stalled, and Benirschke missed a 20-yard chip shot.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 9
Brooks returned the opening kickoff of the second half for 42 yards, but Mike Davis intercepted Fouts on the next play, and returned it 56-yard for a touchdown; when Los Angeles added a field goal on their next drive, it was 20-3. San Diego began their comeback quickly, Chandler starting their next drive with a 31-yard catch and finishing it two plays later with a 25-yard touchdown, catching the ball despite it being noticeably deflected by a defensive back en route.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 9
Carries of 15 and 13 yards by Muncie set up a field goal on the next drive, and Pete Holohan recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Starting at the Raider 19, Muncie caught a 16-yard pass (he lost the ball, but was controversially ruled down by contact) and finished the drive with a couple of runs up the middle. Level now, San Diego forced a punt after Keith Ferguson sacked Jim Plunkett, then went 80 yards in 7 plays to take the lead. Muncie had a 15-yard run, Winslow caught a 22-yard pass, and Muncie finished the job from a yard out.


1982 San Diego Chargers season, Schedule, Game summaries, Week 9
Just as in their previous meeting with the Raiders, San Diego had achieved a run of 24 unanswered points. However, they would win neither game. Oakland tied the scores when Marcus Allen finished off an 87-yard drive with 5:24 to play. San Diego then reached a 3rd and 7 on their own 48, but Fouts threw another pick six, James Davis with a 52-yard runback. The Chargers failed on downs, and Allen added another touchdown. Fouts ran the ball in himself in response, but only 8 seconds remained, and San Diego didn't get the ball back.

The 1982 San Jose mayoral election was held on June 8, 1982 to elect the mayor of San Jose, California. Tom McEnery was elected. Because McEnrery won an outright majority in the initial round of the election, no runoff election needed to be held.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix
The 1982 San Marino Grand Prix  was a Formula One motor race held on 25 April 1982 at the Autodromo Dino Ferrari, Imola, Italy. It was the fourth race of the 1982 Formula One World Championship.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix
The race was boycotted by many teams as part of a political war, unrelated to the event itself, involving the two dominant forces within Formula One, the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA) and the Formula One Constructors' Association (FOCA). Only seven teams took part, giving a field of 14 cars.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix
The 60-lap race was won by Frenchman Didier Pironi, driving a Ferrari, with Canadian teammate Gilles Villeneuve second and Italian Michele Alboreto third in a Tyrrell-Ford. After the Renaults of René Arnoux and Alain Prost retired, Villeneuve led from Pironi before the Ferrari team ordered both drivers to slow down, with Alboreto far behind. Villeneuve interpreted this as an order to maintain position on the track; Pironi did not and thus overtook Villeneuve on the final lap, infuriating the Canadian to the point that he vowed never to speak to Pironi again. Villeneuve would lose his life in a crash during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix two weeks later.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
In a decision relating to the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix, Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg were excluded for their cars' use of water tanks as ballast to keep them under the weight limit during race conditions. The Formula One Constructors' Association (FOCA) protested, and took the decision to boycott the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
Most of the FOCA-aligned teams, including Brabham, McLaren, Williams and Lotus, boycotted the race. However, the Tyrrell, Osella, ATS and Toleman teams broke the boycott, citing "sponsor obligations". They joined the FISA-aligned Ferrari, Renault and Alfa Romeo teams in the race, giving a total of 14 cars.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
The Renaults of René Arnoux and Alain Prost qualified first and second, but their cars failed in the race, leaving Ferrari occupying the top two positions with Gilles Villeneuve leading Didier Pironi. The third-placed Tyrrell of Michele Alboreto was far behind, so Ferrari ordered their drivers to slow down to minimize the risk of mechanical failure or running out of fuel. Villeneuve believed this order also meant that the cars were to maintain position on the track, with Villeneuve ahead of Pironi. However, Pironi believed that the cars were free to race, and passed Villeneuve.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
Villeneuve believed that Pironi was simply trying to spice up an otherwise dull race, and duly re-passed his teammate, assuming that he would then hold station for the remainder of the race. Thus, Villeneuve failed to protect the inside line going into the Tosa corner on the final lap, and Pironi passed him to take the win. Villeneuve was irate at what he saw as Pironi's betrayal, although opinion inside the Ferrari team was split over the true meaning of the order to slow down. Villeneuve's expression was sullen on the podium, enraged by Pironi's actions.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
He was quoted afterwards as saying, "I'll never speak to Pironi again in my life." They proved to be prophetic words, as he was still not on speaking terms with his teammate when he died during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix two weeks later. Pironi's pass on Villeneuve is considered to be one of the most controversial moments in Formula One.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
Manfred Winkelhock was disqualified for his car being underweight in post-race scrutineering.


1982 San Marino Grand Prix, Summary
Despite most of the FOCA-aligned teams boycotting the race it still counted towards the World Championship. This was a bone of contention with the FOCA teams as two previous races held during the war (the 1980 Spanish Grand Prix and the 1981 South African Grand Prix) which had seen all three manufacturer teams boycotting had been down-graded to non-championship races and had not counted towards the championship or official records.

The 1982 San Marino motorcycle Grand Prix was the thirteenth race of the 1982 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place on 3–5 September 1982 at the Mugello Circuit.

1982 Saskatchewan general election
The 1982 Saskatchewan general election was held on April 26, 1982, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.


1982 Saskatchewan general election
The Progressive Conservative Party, led by Grant Devine, defeated the New Democratic Party government of Premier Allan Blakeney, which had governed the province since the 1971 election. The Tories won over half the popular vote, and a large majority in the legislature – the first time that the party had won an outright majority, and making Devine only the second Tory premier in the province's history. The only other time that the Tories had ever led a government was after the 1929 election, when James Anderson led a coalition government of Conservatives, Progressives and independents.


1982 Saskatchewan general election
The NDP vote fell to its lowest level since 1938, and the party lost 35 of its 44 seats in the legislature – the second-worst defeat of a sitting government in the province's history, behind only the Saskatchewan Liberal Party's 38-seat loss in 1944. The highest-profile casualty was Deputy Premier Roy Romanow, who was ousted by Tory challenger Jo-Ann Zazelenchuk as part of the Tories' sweep of Saskatoon.


1982 Saskatchewan general election
This election included the Aboriginal People's Party, a party focused on issues affecting Saskatchewan's First Nations. The APP's best showing would be in the Cumberland district of northeast Saskatchewan, finishing third – ahead of the Liberal candidate.


1982 Saskatchewan general election
Popular feelings of alienation in Saskatchewan from Ottawa reached a high point in 1982. The provincial wing of the Western Canada Concept movement won more votes than the Saskatchewan Liberal Party candidate in over a third of Saskatchewan's constituencies; in three ridings the WCC candidate captured more than 1,000 votes. The WCC would disappear by 1988 and be replaced by the Western Independence Party in the 21st century.

1982 Scottish regional elections
Regional elections were held in Scotland on Thursday 6 May 1982, as part of the wider 1982 United Kingdom local elections. Whilst the 1982 elections saw the Conservatives hold up relatively well in England, the Tories did comparatively poorly in Scotland, where their already disadvantageous position worsened. The Conservatives did particularly poorly in Strathclyde, where the Conservative group leader lost his seat.


1982 Scottish regional elections
Despite this poor performance, the Conservatives were actually seen as doing somewhat well in the overall Scottish context; the Conservative vote had, prior to the election, been languishing around 18% in Scotland. This was somewhat credited to a modest "Falkland Effect;" a surge in Conservative support due to their handling of the ongoing Falklands War.


1982 Scottish regional elections
The SDP-Liberal Alliance managed to displace the SNP into fourth place, although this increase in support ultimately did not translate into major seat gains due to the FPTP nature of the ward electoral system.


1982 Scottish regional elections
Also notable was the success of candidates in Shetland supportive of Home Rule for the islands, who wished for something similar to that enjoyed by the Faroe Islands. Whilst no candidates appeared on the ballot as members of the Shetland Movement (all Shetland candidates were independents), the Shetland Movement did publish a list of candidates supportive of Shetland Home Rule. Ultimately, of the 25 members of the Shetland Islands Council, 14 were supporters of the movement.

These councils were elected at the same time as Scottish regional councils.


1982 Sierra Leonean parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Sierra Leone on 1 May 1982. They were the first elections since the country had become a one-party state under the 1978 constitution, with the All People's Congress being the sole legal party.


1982 Sierra Leonean parliamentary election, Background
Following an amendment to the constitution in 1981, prior to the election, primaries were held to choose up to three candidates (all selected by the APC) to stand in each of the 85 constituencies. As a result, elections in 66 of the 85 constituencies were contested (13 of the 19 seats left uncontested were held by cabinet ministers).


1982 Sierra Leonean parliamentary election, Background
The elections were marred by violence in which up to 50 people died. The APC used the army to crush opposition SLPP supporters in what became known as the "Ndogboyosoi [bush devil] war".


1982 Sierra Leonean parliamentary election, Background
In addition to the 85 elected seats, the parliament consisted of 12 paramount chiefs elected through tribal councils and 7 MPs appointed by the president, Siaka Stevens.


1982 Sierra Leonean parliamentary election, Aftermath

1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election
The 1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election was called following the formation of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The party had been founded by the Gang of Four the previous year and had rapidly built up its membership, but lacked a formal leadership structure. Each of the Gang of Four was regarded as coequal leader.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Method of election
One of the first disputes within the party was over the method of election for the leadership. Shirley Williams and David Owen strongly believed that the party should be committed to 'One Member, One Vote' and therefore the Leader should be elected by the whole membership. Roy Jenkins, however, believed that the Leader should be elected in a ballot of SDP Members of Parliament only. Ivor Crewe and Anthony King's book on the party points out that such a system would make his election as Leader much more likely. Bill Rodgers went along with Jenkins.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Method of election
In autumn 1981, the SDP Steering Committee agreed (as suggested by Jenkins and Rodgers) to recommend to a constitutional conference that the Leader be elected by MPs, but that the ultimate decision on the mode of election would have to be endorsed by the membership.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Method of election
The conference, held in February 1982, decided to offer three options: election by the party membership, election by the MPs only, and a system in which the first leader would be elected by the membership but subsequent leaders by the MPs (on the assumption that there would be many more of them after the next general election). In the event, the membership decided to preserve their power over the election of the leader.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Candidates
Roy Jenkins was unofficially regarded as the Leader of the SDP from the time of its foundation, as the most senior of the founding members. However, he was out of Parliament at the time, and despite his support, it was generally accepted in the party that the leader must be an MP. Fortunately for Jenkins, the Glasgow Hillhead constituency (which had already been assessed as a potential SDP seat) fell vacant in January 1982 and Jenkins won the by-election in March.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Candidates
David Owen had been infuriated by the party even considering election by MPs only and therefore decided that either he or Williams were to challenge Jenkins for the leadership as early as November 1981. Williams privately informed Jenkins before polling day in Hillhead that she had decided not to stand and, on the day after the election, gave a press interview in which she described him as "the Alliance's natural leader". Owen continued to press Williams to run, as a result of which she issued a press statement on 18 May 1982 which read "I will not be standing for the leadership."


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Candidates
Jenkins' supporters tried to persuade Owen not to run in order to prevent the party from being divided, although at the back of their minds was the thought that Owen might be able to capitalise on his prominence during the Falklands War when he had frequently appeared in the media commentating as a former Foreign Secretary how he deterred a 1977 invasion plan by despatching some Royal Navy ships. Owen was undeterred and when Williams announced that she would not run, he immediately declared that he would. When nominations closed on 11 June, there were therefore two candidates.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Campaign
Backstage negotiation at the time of the constitutional conference had agreed that, in the event of a contest, the candidates should not overtly campaign for the job, as it would increase divisions in the party. The candidates were practically united on issues of policy and therefore the differences between the two candidates were largely those of image and personality. The only significant policy issue which divided them was on relations with the Liberal Party.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Campaign
Jenkins wanted a very close alliance between the SDP and Liberals, and viewed the SDP as a means of levering more ex-Labour supporters into the political centre. Owen, by contrast, viewed the Alliance as a simple electoral pact in order to get the SDP established as a serious electoral force, and he absolutely ruled out the idea of unifying the two into an 'Alliance Party'.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Campaign
Despite the agreement prohibiting campaigning, the candidates both took the opportunity to brief Lobby journalists against the other. Both candidates' supporters felt some degree of bitterness against the other.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Endorsements
Jenkins and Owen were roughly evenly split among the parliamentary party for support, with Jenkins maintaining a slight edge. Of the SDP's twenty nine Members of Parliament, fifteen supported Jenkins (including Bill Rodgers) while thirteen supported Owen (including Shirley Williams). One (Michael O'Halloran) was uncommitted. Following below is a partial list of endorsers for each candidate:


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Results
In the end, 75.6% of the membership returned their ballots, and the election proved a relatively close contest: Jenkins won with 55.7% of the vote. Owen accepted his defeat, and was appointed by Jenkins as Deputy Leader of the Parliamentary Party.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Results
Jenkins remained in the post for only a year. In the 1983 General Election, the SDP-Liberal Alliance won 25.4% of the vote, but the Alliance were left holding only twenty three seats of which only six were held by the Social Democrats, and Owen announced that he would force another leadership election. Jenkins chose to step aside rather than contest the challenge.


1982 Social Democratic Party leadership election, Presidential election
Alongside the leadership election, there was a separate contest to become President of the Council of Social Democracy, an institution with representatives of every area party of the SDP, with responsibility for deliberating on, and adopting, policies. The President was also to sit on the party's National Committee. Three candidates stood. Two, Shirley Williams and Bill Rodgers, were members of the "Gang of Four" Labour Party politicians which had led the party's formation. The other candidate was Stephen Haseler, former joint secretary of the Social Democratic Alliance.

1982 South African Grand Prix
The 1982 South African Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on the 23 January 1982 at Kyalami. It was the first race of the 1982 FIA Formula One World Championship and the 28th edition of the South African Grand Prix and the 16th time that the Grand Prix had been held at Kyalami.


1982 South African Grand Prix
The prelude to the race was notable for a strike action by the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, led by Niki Lauda and Didier Pironi, in protest at the new superlicence conditions imposed by FISA, which would have tied the drivers to a single team for up to three years. A late compromise was reached and the race went ahead. The drivers were subsequently fined between US$5,000 and US$10,000 and handed suspended race bans; however, the FIA Court of Appeal later reduced the penalties and criticised FISA's handling of the dispute.


1982 South African Grand Prix
Turbocharged cars took the first six positions on the grid. Despite Alain Prost suffering a puncture while leading, he was able to recover to win the race. Lauda, in his first race after two years out of F1, finished fourth. It was the final podium F1 finish for Carlos Reutemann, who retired from Grand Prix racing after the next race in Brazil, and his place at Williams was taken by Mario Andretti for the following race, at Long Beach.

1982 South American Jaguars rugby union tour of South Africa
The 1982 South American Jaguars rugby union tour of South Africa was a series of seven matches played by the South American Jaguars rugby union team in South Africa in March and April 1982. The South American team won six of their tour matches, suffering only a single defeat to the South Africa national rugby union team. The South American team's 21-12 victory over South Africa in the second international was a major shock and described by Rothmans Rugby Yearbook as "a phenomenon of international rugby".


1982 South American Jaguars rugby union tour of South Africa
The touring team comprised 42 players, including some from the Chile national rugby union team, Uruguay national rugby union team and Paraguay national rugby union team but the players who took part in the two international fixtures were drawn entirely from the Argentina national rugby union team and were described as "effectively the Pumas".

1982 South Australian state election
State elections were held in South Australia on 6 November 1982. All 47 seats in the South Australian House of Assembly were up for election. The incumbent Liberal Party of Australia led by Premier of South Australia David Tonkin was defeated by the Australian Labor Party led by Leader of the Opposition John Bannon.


1982 South Australian state election
A referendum on daylight saving was held on the same day, and was passed.


1982 South Australian state election, Background
Parliamentary elections for both houses of the Parliament of South Australia were held in South Australia in 1982, which saw John Bannon and the Australian Labor Party defeat the incumbent Liberal Party of Australia led by David Tonkin, after one term in power.


1982 South Australian state election, Background
As Premier, Tonkin combined fiscal conservatism with socially progressive reforms. In the former, Tonkin made significant cuts to the public service, earning him the enmity of the unions, while an example of the latter was the passage of the land rights bill and the return to the Pitjantjatjara people of 10 per cent of South Australia's area.


1982 South Australian state election, Background
Prior to the election, Tonkin removed Robin Millhouse (a former Liberal member who had defected to the Liberal Movement and then the Australian Democrats, and whose popularity enabled him to hold his seat of Mitcham) with an offer of a vacant seat in the Supreme Court. However the subsequent by-election saw the seat retained by Democrats candidate Heather Southcott.


1982 South Australian state election, Background
One potential election factor was the copper and uranium mine at Olympic Dam, near Roxby Downs. Enabling legislation had been passed earlier in 1982, despite the opposition of the Labor Party, only when Norm Foster quit the Labor party to support it. Considered a controversial move in Labor circles, Bannon defused this as an election issue by promising that development would go ahead under a Labor government (a commitment which was honoured), despite having previously opposed it.


1982 South Australian state election, Background
The Liberals also had to contend with the early 1980s recession.


1982 South Australian state election, Summary
Labor achieved a 5.9% swing, and won 4 seats from the Liberals (Brighton, Henley Beach, Mawson and Newland). The Liberals won the seat of Mitcham from the Democrats, so overall lost 3 seats. The House of Assembly numbers were Labor 24, Liberal 21, National Party 1 and Independent Labor 1, giving Labor a narrow majority.


1982 South Australian state election, Summary
In the Legislative Council, Liberal and Labor won 5 seats each, and the Democrats 1; giving a chamber of 11 Liberal, 9 Labor and 2 Democrats. Labor lost one seat to the Democrats, but regained the seat they had lost when Norm Foster resigned from the Labor party earlier that year. Foster stood as an Independent Labor member in the Legislative Council, but was not re-elected.


1982 South Australian state election, Aftermath
After the election loss, Tonkin resigned as Liberal leader and was succeeded by John Olsen, who won a leadership ballot against Dean Brown. A heart complaint caused Tonkin to leave parliament soon after at which a 1983 Bragg by-election was triggered, with the Liberals easily retaining the seat.


1982 South Australian state election, Aftermath
A 1984 Elizabeth by-election saw Independent Labor candidate Martyn Evans win the seat from Labor. This gave Labor a minority government (23 out of 47 seats), though it continued to govern with the support of Independent Labor members Evans and Norm Peterson.

1982 South Carolina gubernatorial election
The 1982 South Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1982 to select the governor of the state of South Carolina. The state constitution was amended by the voters on November 4, 1980 to allow for the governor to serve a second consecutive four-year term. Governor Richard Riley, the popular Democratic incumbent, easily defeated Republican W. D. Workman, Jr. and became the first governor since Thomas Gordon McLeod in 1924 to be elected to a second consecutive term. As of 2020, this is also the last election that a Democrat has carried every county in South Carolina.


1982 South Carolina gubernatorial election, Democratic primary
Governor Richard Riley faced no opposition from South Carolina Democrats and avoided a primary election.


1982 South Carolina gubernatorial election, Republican primary
The South Carolina Republican Party held their primary for governor in the summer of 1982. The lack of a Democratic primary for Governor gave the Republicans an opportunity to increase interest in their party, but the popularity of Governor Richard Riley prevented many additional voters from participating in the primary. W. D. Workman, Jr. decisively defeated Roddy T. Martin and earned the right to face Riley in the general election.


1982 South Carolina gubernatorial election, General election
The general election was held on November 2, 1982 and Richard Riley was elected as the next governor of South Carolina. Turnout decreased from the previous gubernatorial election because of the uncompetitive nature of the race. Riley won every County in the state.
