Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 14.8% between them.

    (11,072 + 7,069) ÷ 21,297 = 85.2% · 3,156 ÷ 21,297 = 14.8%

  2. Turnout of 28.1% was 11.1 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    28.1 − 39.2 = −11.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 42.8 pp in 1967 to 18.8 pp.

    18.8 − 42.8 = −24.0 pp
