Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.3% between them.

    (64,769 + 57,839) ÷ 1,29,446 = 94.7% · 6,838 ÷ 1,29,446 = 5.3%

  2. Turnout of 85.3% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (79.7%).

    85.3 − 79.7 = +5.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.2 pp in 2007 to 5.4 pp.
