Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,672 votes, 2.7× the 615-vote margin.

    1,672 ÷ 615 = 2.7

  2. The top two polled 78.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 21.1% between them.

    (3,434 + 2,819) ÷ 7,925 = 78.9% · 1,672 ÷ 7,925 = 21.1%

  3. Turnout of 11.8% was 22.0 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).

    11.8 − 33.8 = −22.0

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
