Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 71.3% of votes; the other 12 candidates 28.7% between them.

    (77,356 + 31,061) ÷ 1,52,131 = 71.3% · 43,714 ÷ 1,52,131 = 28.7%

  2. Turnout of 61.0% was 15.5 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    61.0 − 76.5 = −15.5

  3. The margin widened from 17.9 pp in 2011 to 30.4 pp.

    30.4 − 17.9 = +12.5 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 2011.
