Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.9% between them.

    (11,683 + 3,643) ÷ 17,596 = 87.1% · 1,912 ÷ 17,596 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 21.3% was 20.5 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    21.3 − 41.8 = −20.5

  3. The margin widened from 5.6 pp in 1974 to 45.7 pp.

    45.7 − 5.6 = +40.1 pp
