Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 15.7% between them.

    (22,655 + 7,822) ÷ 36,141 = 84.3% · 5,664 ÷ 36,141 = 15.7%

  2. Turnout of 47.9% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (48.5%).

    47.9 − 48.5 = −0.6

  3. The margin widened from 13.8 pp in 1971 to 41.0 pp.

    41.0 − 13.8 = +27.2 pp
