Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 66.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 34.0% between them.

    (13,150 + 7,476) ÷ 31,237 = 66.0% · 10,611 ÷ 31,237 = 34.0%

  2. Turnout of 36.7% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    36.7 − 39.2 = −2.5

  3. The margin widened from 3.7 pp in 1967 to 18.2 pp.

    18.2 − 3.7 = +14.5 pp
