Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.5% between them.

    (10,559 + 3,140) ÷ 14,976 = 91.5% · 1,277 ÷ 14,976 = 8.5%

  2. Turnout of 35.0% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).

    35.0 − 33.8 = +1.2

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
