Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 57.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 39.2% between them.

    (53,723 + 24,745) ÷ 1,35,498 = 57.9% · 53,161 ÷ 1,35,498 = 39.2%

  2. Turnout of 67.6% was 6.8 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    67.6 − 74.4 = −6.8

  3. The margin widened from 6.4 pp in 1990 to 21.4 pp.

    21.4 − 6.4 = +15.0 pp
