Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (73,479 + 56,620) ÷ 1,39,091 = 93.5% · 8,375 ÷ 1,39,091 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 80.5% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    80.5 − 79.4 = +1.1

  3. The margin widened from 4.8 pp in 2021 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 4.8 = +7.3 pp

  4. Antony John, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
