Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.2% between them.

    (96,582 + 43,860) ÷ 1,46,954 = 95.6% · 4,639 ÷ 1,46,954 = 3.2%

  2. Turnout of 84.6% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (84.3%).

    84.6 − 84.3 = +0.3

  3. The margin widened from 13.2 pp in 2021 to 35.9 pp.

    35.9 − 13.2 = +22.7 pp
