Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 18.1% between them.

    (50,503 + 38,355) ÷ 1,08,512 = 81.9% · 19,654 ÷ 1,08,512 = 18.1%

  2. Turnout of 72.5% was 7.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    72.5 − 79.7 = −7.2

  3. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 2007 to 11.2 pp.

    11.2 − 0.1 = +11.1 pp
