Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (89,885 + 59,379) ÷ 1,61,661 = 92.3% · 11,107 ÷ 1,61,661 = 6.9%

  2. Turnout of 88.8% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    88.8 − 93.4 = −4.6

  3. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 2021 to 18.9 pp.

    18.9 − 2.2 = +16.7 pp
