Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.6% between them.

    (95,641 + 66,381) ÷ 1,77,176 = 91.4% · 15,154 ÷ 1,77,176 = 8.6%

  2. Turnout of 83.7% matched the state's median seat.

    83.7 − 83.7 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 2011 to 16.5 pp.

    16.5 − 2.9 = +13.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2011, AITC in 2016.
