Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 4.6% between them.

    (86,933 + 58,296) ÷ 1,52,187 = 95.4% · 6,958 ÷ 1,52,187 = 4.6%

  2. Turnout of 86.9% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    86.9 − 85.9 = +1.0

  3. The margin widened from 4.7 pp in 2006 to 18.8 pp.

    18.8 − 4.7 = +14.1 pp

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