Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed GP polled 4,491 votes, 6.2× the 723-vote margin.

    4,491 ÷ 723 = 6.2

  2. The top two polled 72.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 27.1% between them.

    (6,894 + 6,171) ÷ 17,928 = 72.9% · 4,863 ÷ 17,928 = 27.1%

  3. Turnout of 28.8% was 5.0 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).

    28.8 − 33.8 = −5.0

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
