Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 30,059 votes, 3.5× the 8,515-vote margin.

    30,059 ÷ 8,515 = 3.5

  2. The top two polled 53.5% of votes; the other 10 candidates 46.5% between them.

    (42,994 + 34,479) ÷ 1,44,839 = 53.5% · 67,366 ÷ 1,44,839 = 46.5%

  3. Turnout of 61.9% was 6.1 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).

    61.9 − 55.8 = +6.1
