Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (80,637 + 52,841) ÷ 1,43,294 = 93.1% · 9,816 ÷ 1,43,294 = 6.9%

  2. Turnout of 71.6% was 8.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    71.6 − 79.8 = −8.2

  3. The margin widened from 5.0 pp in 2006 to 19.4 pp.

    19.4 − 5.0 = +14.4 pp
