Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 17.8% between them.

    (15,016 + 2,445) ÷ 21,249 = 82.2% · 3,788 ÷ 21,249 = 17.8%

  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 narrowed from 66.1 pp in 1967 to 59.2 pp.

    59.2 − 66.1 = −6.9 pp
