Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 64.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 35.8% between them.

    (18,079 + 8,185) ÷ 40,915 = 64.2% · 14,651 ÷ 40,915 = 35.8%

  2. Turnout of 42.4% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (48.7%).

    42.4 − 48.7 = −6.3

  3. The margin widened from 19.4 pp in 1972 to 24.2 pp.

    24.2 − 19.4 = +4.8 pp
