Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 10.2% between them.

    (79,749 + 61,773) ÷ 1,57,533 = 89.8% · 16,011 ÷ 1,57,533 = 10.2%

  2. Turnout of 70.7% was 13.0 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    70.7 − 83.7 = −13.0

  3. The margin widened from 5.0 pp in 2011 to 11.4 pp.

    11.4 − 5.0 = +6.4 pp

  4. AITC held the seat it won in 2011.
