Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (66,364 + 51,849) ÷ 1,26,783 = 93.2% · 8,570 ÷ 1,26,783 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 89.2% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (83.9%).

    89.2 − 83.9 = +5.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.5 pp in 2011 to 11.4 pp.

    11.4 − 18.5 = −7.1 pp
