Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 13.1% between them.

    (62,616 + 44,846) ÷ 1,23,593 = 86.9% · 16,131 ÷ 1,23,593 = 13.1%

  2. Turnout of 74.8% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    74.8 − 77.5 = −2.7

  3. The margin widened from 11.4 pp in 2013 to 14.4 pp.

    14.4 − 11.4 = +3.0 pp
