Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 2,191 votes, 1.2× the 1,795-vote margin.

    2,191 ÷ 1,795 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 77.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 22.6% between them.

    (8,289 + 6,494) ÷ 19,110 = 77.4% · 4,327 ÷ 19,110 = 22.6%

  3. Turnout of 36.4% was 2.6 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).

    36.4 − 33.8 = +2.6

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
