Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 7.5% between them.

    (18,780 + 16,483) ÷ 39,798 = 88.6% · 3,004 ÷ 39,798 = 7.5%

  2. Turnout of 41.1% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    41.1 − 41.8 = −0.7

  3. The margin widened from 4.6 pp in 1974 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 4.6 = +1.2 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1974.
