Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 9 candidates 4.4% between them.

    (85,869 + 61,407) ÷ 1,54,050 = 95.6% · 6,774 ÷ 1,54,050 = 4.4%

  2. Turnout of 77.5% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    77.5 − 79.8 = −2.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.8 pp in 2006 to 15.9 pp.

    15.9 − 2.8 = +13.1 pp
