Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 8.1% between them.

    (61,328 + 47,934) ÷ 1,18,889 = 91.9% · 9,627 ÷ 1,18,889 = 8.1%

  2. Turnout of 57.7% was 9.2 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).

    57.7 − 66.9 = −9.2

  3. The margin widened from 8.6 pp in 2004 to 11.3 pp.

    11.3 − 8.6 = +2.7 pp
