Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.2% of votes; the other 12 candidates 4.8% between them.

    (1,05,502 + 70,423) ÷ 1,84,859 = 95.2% · 8,934 ÷ 1,84,859 = 4.8%

  2. Turnout of 86.1% was 6.3 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    86.1 − 79.8 = +6.3

  3. The margin widened from 3.6 pp in 2006 to 19.0 pp.

    19.0 − 3.6 = +15.4 pp
