Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 19.7% between them.

    (13,335 + 4,774) ÷ 23,481 = 77.1% · 4,626 ÷ 23,481 = 19.7%

  2. Turnout of 46.9% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    46.9 − 41.8 = +5.1

  3. The margin widened from 14.3 pp in 1974 to 36.5 pp.

    36.5 − 14.3 = +22.2 pp
