Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 9.8% between them.

    (73,328 + 60,226) ÷ 1,48,000 = 90.2% · 14,446 ÷ 1,48,000 = 9.8%

  2. Turnout of 82.2% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (79.7%).

    82.2 − 79.7 = +2.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.9 pp in 2007 to 8.9 pp.

    8.9 − 25.9 = −17.0 pp
