Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (90,895 + 48,469) ÷ 1,51,645 = 91.9% · 11,484 ÷ 1,51,645 = 7.6%

  2. Turnout of 75.7% was 3.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    75.7 − 79.4 = −3.7

  3. The margin widened from 6.6 pp in 2021 to 28.0 pp.

    28.0 − 6.6 = +21.4 pp

  4. Adv. Sajeev Joseph also won in 2021.
