Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 25.0% between them.

    (11,690 + 7,888) ÷ 26,116 = 75.0% · 6,538 ÷ 26,116 = 25.0%

  2. Turnout of 79.0% was 5.1 pp below the state's median seat (84.1%).

    79.0 − 84.1 = −5.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 41.9 pp in 2011 to 14.6 pp.

    14.6 − 41.9 = −27.3 pp

  4. AINRC held the seat it won in 2011.
