Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.2% of votes; the other 10 candidates 10.8% between them.

    (86,901 + 77,270) ÷ 1,84,074 = 89.2% · 19,903 ÷ 1,84,074 = 10.8%

  2. Turnout of 82.7% was 6.2 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    82.7 − 76.5 = +6.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.2 pp in 2011 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 15.2 = −10.0 pp
