Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 16 candidates 22.8% between them.

    (84,394 + 57,980) ÷ 1,84,349 = 77.2% · 41,975 ÷ 1,84,349 = 22.8%

  2. Turnout of 84.3% was 7.8 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    84.3 − 76.5 = +7.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.5 pp in 2011 to 14.3 pp.

    14.3 − 24.5 = −10.2 pp
