Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.8% of votes; the other 1 candidate 11.5% between them.

    (8,890 + 3,731) ÷ 15,242 = 82.8% · 1,751 ÷ 15,242 = 11.5%

  2. Turnout of 16.7% was 29.1 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    16.7 − 45.8 = −29.1

  3. The margin widened from 5.4 pp in 1977 to 33.8 pp.

    33.8 − 5.4 = +28.4 pp
