Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 17.8% between them.

    (79,661 + 46,952) ÷ 1,55,237 = 81.6% · 27,648 ÷ 1,55,237 = 17.8%

  2. Turnout of 76.7% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    76.7 − 79.4 = −2.7

  3. The margin widened from 7.3 pp in 2021 to 21.1 pp.

    21.1 − 7.3 = +13.8 pp

  4. Adv. M.Vincent also won in 2021.
