Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (90,515 + 17,148) ÷ 1,18,317 = 91.0% · 10,654 ÷ 1,18,317 = 9.0%

  2. Turnout of 59.9% was 7.0 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).

    59.9 − 66.9 = −7.0

  3. The margin widened from 2.5 pp in 2004 to 62.0 pp.

    62.0 − 2.5 = +59.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 2004, BJD in 2009.
