Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 59.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 35.6% between them.

    (15,686 + 5,345) ÷ 35,319 = 59.5% · 12,580 ÷ 35,319 = 35.6%

  2. Turnout of 42.9% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    42.9 − 45.8 = −2.9

  3. The margin widened from 13.4 pp in 1977 to 29.3 pp.

    29.3 − 13.4 = +15.9 pp
