Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.3% between them.

    (71,944 + 50,415) ÷ 1,42,556 = 85.8% · 18,916 ÷ 1,42,556 = 13.3%

  2. Turnout of 71.6% was 7.8 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    71.6 − 79.4 = −7.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.5 pp in 2021 to 15.1 pp.

    15.1 − 25.5 = −10.4 pp

  4. CPI held the seat it won in 2021.
