Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed LRPHP polled 3,841 votes, 2.4× the 1,600-vote margin.

    3,841 ÷ 1,600 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 56.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 43.4% between them.

    (6,886 + 5,286) ÷ 21,519 = 56.6% · 9,347 ÷ 21,519 = 43.4%

  3. Turnout of 55.0% was 6.2 pp above the state's median seat (48.8%).

    55.0 − 48.8 = +6.2
