Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 13.1% between them.

    (1,00,483 + 83,910) ÷ 2,12,123 = 86.9% · 27,730 ÷ 2,12,123 = 13.1%

  2. Turnout of 58.4% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).

    58.4 − 60.3 = −1.9

    7.8 − 23.4 = −15.6 pp
