Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 26.6% between them.

    (4,657 + 3,078) ÷ 10,532 = 73.4% · 2,797 ÷ 10,532 = 26.6%

  2. Turnout of 22.5% was 11.3 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).

    22.5 − 33.8 = −11.3

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
