Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.5% between them.

    (86,966 + 59,295) ÷ 1,56,375 = 93.5% · 10,114 ÷ 1,56,375 = 6.5%

  2. Turnout of 85.6% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    85.6 − 85.9 = −0.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.8 pp in 2006 to 17.7 pp.

    17.7 − 2.8 = +14.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: RJD in 2006, AITC in 2011.

    2006 RJD · 2011 AITC
