Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.6% of votes; the other 6 candidates 11.4% between them.

    (94,827 + 78,118) ÷ 1,95,121 = 88.6% · 22,176 ÷ 1,95,121 = 11.4%

  2. Turnout of 88.2% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    88.2 − 83.7 = +4.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.3 pp in 2011 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 16.3 = −7.7 pp

  4. AITC held the seat it won in 2011.
