[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AD polled 20,915 votes, 1.6× the 12,697-vote margin.

    20,915 ÷ 12,697 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 52.6% of votes; the other 14 candidates 47.4% between them.

    (41,426 + 28,729) ÷ 1,33,405 = 52.6% · 63,250 ÷ 1,33,405 = 47.4%

  3. Turnout of 39.3% was 16.5 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).

    39.3 − 55.8 = −16.5

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
