Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 4.4% between them.

    (88,967 + 81,001) ÷ 1,77,723 = 95.6% · 7,755 ÷ 1,77,723 = 4.4%

  2. Turnout of 81.6% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    81.6 − 79.8 = +1.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.1 pp in 2006 to 4.5 pp.

    4.5 − 12.1 = −7.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: VCK in 2006, DMDK in 2011.
