Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.8% of votes; the other 9 candidates 6.2% between them.

    (69,166 + 58,522) ÷ 1,36,071 = 93.8% · 8,383 ÷ 1,36,071 = 6.2%

  2. Turnout of 77.6% was 2.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    77.6 − 79.8 = −2.2

  3. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 2006 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 0.1 = +7.7 pp
