Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 12.8% between them.

    (97,194 + 32,876) ÷ 1,58,890 = 81.9% · 20,391 ÷ 1,58,890 = 12.8%

  2. Turnout of 25.7% was 20.2 pp below the state's median seat (45.9%).

    25.7 − 45.9 = −20.2

  3. The margin widened from 9.5 pp in 1977 to 40.5 pp.

    40.5 − 9.5 = +31.0 pp
