Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (71,718 + 55,369) ÷ 1,30,877 = 97.1% · 3,790 ÷ 1,30,877 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 64.7% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (69.5%).

    64.7 − 69.5 = −4.8

  3. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 2012 to 12.5 pp.

    12.5 − 2.4 = +10.1 pp
