Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 1.2% between them.

    (59,985 + 41,581) ÷ 1,05,104 = 96.6% · 1,288 ÷ 1,05,104 = 1.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.0% was 6.7 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    72.0 − 78.7 = −6.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.4 pp in 1977 to 17.5 pp.

    17.5 − 26.4 = −8.9 pp

  4. RSP held the seat it won in 1977.
