Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 23.1% between them.

    (11,198 + 6,834) ÷ 23,434 = 76.9% · 5,402 ÷ 23,434 = 23.1%

  2. Turnout of 30.6% was 17.9 pp below the state's median seat (48.5%).

    30.6 − 48.5 = −17.9

  3. The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 1971 to 18.6 pp.

    18.6 − 7.5 = +11.1 pp
