Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,274 votes, 4.2× the 1,257-vote margin.

    5,274 ÷ 1,257 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 78.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 21.3% between them.

    (10,389 + 9,132) ÷ 24,795 = 78.7% · 5,274 ÷ 24,795 = 21.3%

  3. Turnout of 45.3% was 8.6 pp below the state's median seat (53.9%).

    45.3 − 53.9 = −8.6

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
