Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.6% of votes; the other 8 candidates 16.4% between them.

    (6,313 + 806) ÷ 8,512 = 83.6% · 1,393 ÷ 8,512 = 16.4%

  2. Turnout of 17.4% was 50.2 pp below the state's median seat (67.6%).

    17.4 − 67.6 = −50.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 89.7 pp in 2002 to 64.7 pp.

    64.7 − 89.7 = −25.0 pp
