Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 24.0% between them.

    (10,189 + 4,757) ÷ 19,673 = 76.0% · 4,727 ÷ 19,673 = 24.0%

  2. Turnout of 82.8% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (86.0%).

    82.8 − 86.0 = −3.2

  3. The margin widened from 7.6 pp in 2006 to 27.6 pp.

    27.6 − 7.6 = +20.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 2006, AINRC in 2011.
