Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 8.4% between them.

    (89,394 + 72,767) ÷ 1,76,993 = 91.6% · 14,832 ÷ 1,76,993 = 8.4%

  2. Turnout of 87.7% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    87.7 − 85.9 = +1.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 41.8 pp in 2006 to 9.4 pp.

    9.4 − 41.8 = −32.4 pp
