Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (75,064 + 72,091) ÷ 1,51,498 = 97.1% · 4,343 ÷ 1,51,498 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 79.5% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    79.5 − 79.8 = −0.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.1 pp in 2006 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 11.1 = −9.1 pp
