Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.6% between them.

    (21,864 + 3,705) ÷ 29,260 = 87.4% · 3,691 ÷ 29,260 = 12.6%

  2. Turnout of 33.2% was 18.7 pp below the state's median seat (51.9%).

    33.2 − 51.9 = −18.7

    62.1 − 20.5 = +41.6 pp
