Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.2% of votes; the other 14 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (67,723 + 56,002) ÷ 1,56,167 = 79.2% · 32,442 ÷ 1,56,167 = 20.8%

  2. Turnout of 55.2% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    55.2 − 59.4 = −4.2

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 2007 to 7.5 pp.

    7.5 − 2.7 = +4.8 pp
