Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 71.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 25.0% between them.

    (8,467 + 4,152) ÷ 17,737 = 71.1% · 4,437 ÷ 17,737 = 25.0%

  2. Turnout of 24.5% was 17.3 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    24.5 − 41.8 = −17.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.1 pp in 1974 to 24.3 pp.

    24.3 − 2.1 = +22.2 pp
