Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.2% of votes; the other 13 candidates 8.8% between them.

    (86,932 + 47,817) ÷ 1,47,805 = 91.2% · 13,056 ÷ 1,47,805 = 8.8%

  2. Turnout of 76.8% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    76.8 − 79.8 = −3.0

  3. The margin widened from 5.1 pp in 2006 to 26.5 pp.

    26.5 − 5.1 = +21.4 pp
