Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 31,936 votes, 1.8× the 17,860-vote margin.

    31,936 ÷ 17,860 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 63.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 36.0% between them.

    (51,289 + 33,429) ÷ 1,32,654 = 63.9% · 47,730 ÷ 1,32,654 = 36.0%

  3. Turnout of 47.2% was 8.6 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).

    47.2 − 55.8 = −8.6
