Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 20.4% between them.

    (25,931 + 17,390) ÷ 54,412 = 79.6% · 11,091 ÷ 54,412 = 20.4%

  2. Turnout of 51.6% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (51.9%).

    51.6 − 51.9 = −0.3

  3. The margin widened from 7.2 pp in 1969 to 15.7 pp.

    15.7 − 7.2 = +8.5 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1969.
