Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 7.3% between them.

    (22,538 + 11,419) ÷ 37,289 = 91.1% · 2,723 ÷ 37,289 = 7.3%

  2. Turnout of 37.2% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    37.2 − 41.8 = −4.6

  3. The margin widened from 9.3 pp in 1974 to 29.8 pp.

    29.8 − 9.3 = +20.5 pp
