Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 16.5% between them.

    (72,902 + 59,261) ÷ 1,58,288 = 83.5% · 26,125 ÷ 1,58,288 = 16.5%

  2. Turnout of 80.8% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    80.8 − 79.8 = +1.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.2 pp in 2006 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 3.2 = +5.4 pp
