Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 3.3% between them.

    (89,636 + 41,968) ÷ 1,39,764 = 94.2% · 4,586 ÷ 1,39,764 = 3.3%

  2. Turnout of 71.1% was 13.2 pp below the state's median seat (84.3%).

    71.1 − 84.3 = −13.2

  3. The margin widened from 25.7 pp in 2021 to 34.1 pp.

    34.1 − 25.7 = +8.4 pp
