Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 8.2% between them.

    (95,697 + 48,121) ÷ 1,58,296 = 90.9% · 13,034 ÷ 1,58,296 = 8.2%

  2. Turnout of 94.0% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    94.0 − 93.4 = +0.6

  3. The margin widened from 8.9 pp in 2021 to 30.1 pp.

    30.1 − 8.9 = +21.2 pp
