Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.3% of votes; the other 10 candidates 4.7% between them.

    (62,054 + 58,805) ÷ 1,26,812 = 95.3% · 5,953 ÷ 1,26,812 = 4.7%

  2. Turnout of 89.9% was 10.2 pp above the state's median seat (79.7%).

    89.9 − 79.7 = +10.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 5.2 pp in 2007 to 2.6 pp.

    2.6 − 5.2 = −2.6 pp
