Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 27.9% between them.

    (13,366 + 3,998) ÷ 24,076 = 72.1% · 6,712 ÷ 24,076 = 27.9%

  2. Turnout of 34.8% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    34.8 − 39.2 = −4.4

  3. The margin widened from 31.4 pp in 1967 to 38.9 pp.

    38.9 − 31.4 = +7.5 pp
