Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 8 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (86,104 + 67,204) ÷ 1,68,797 = 90.8% · 15,489 ÷ 1,68,797 = 9.2%

  2. Turnout of 74.4% was 5.4 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    74.4 − 79.8 = −5.4

  3. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 2006 to 11.2 pp.

    11.2 − 0.3 = +10.9 pp
