Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.7% of votes; the other 16 candidates 11.3% between them.

    (1,10,102 + 66,864) ÷ 1,99,538 = 88.7% · 22,572 ÷ 1,99,538 = 11.3%

  2. Turnout of 71.8% was 8.0 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    71.8 − 79.8 = −8.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.9 pp in 2006 to 21.7 pp.

    21.7 − 3.9 = +17.8 pp
