Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AD polled 22,749 votes, 23× the 972-vote margin.

    22,749 ÷ 972 = 23.4

  2. The top two polled 41.1% of votes; the other 16 candidates 58.9% between them.

    (26,626 + 25,654) ÷ 1,27,197 = 41.1% · 74,912 ÷ 1,27,197 = 58.9%

  3. Turnout of 54.7% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).

    54.7 − 55.8 = −1.1

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
