Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 11.9% between them.

    (38,320 + 26,202) ÷ 73,232 = 88.1% · 8,710 ÷ 73,232 = 11.9%

  2. Turnout of 53.5% was 4.7 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    53.5 − 58.2 = −4.7

  3. The margin widened from 5.6 pp in 2003 to 16.5 pp.

    16.5 − 5.6 = +10.9 pp
