Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.3% between them.

    (80,463 + 67,724) ÷ 1,58,124 = 93.7% · 9,937 ÷ 1,58,124 = 6.3%

  2. Turnout of 66.3% was 7.2 pp below the state's median seat (73.5%).

    66.3 − 73.5 = −7.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.3 pp in 2014 to 8.1 pp.

    8.1 − 15.3 = −7.2 pp

  4. BJD held the seat it won in 2014.
