This question doesn't look like a correct one. With only percentage how can one understands the number of voters? There is fundamentally wrong.

­They are asking for the probability. The total number of voters in each district is irrelevant. 

I can say that in district 4, about 32% probability is that the voter voted for candidate Z while in district 2, there is 9% probability that the voter voted for candidate Z. ­

Well, %ages are probabilities.. probability of 1/2 means 50% of the time (of the total)
so in that case if question was asking for the number of votes than it would have been wrong, but question asks " Voters in District 4 were more than three times as likely" means 3 times the %age or the probability.
