Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 9,076 votes, 5.0× the 1,826-vote margin.

    9,076 ÷ 1,826 = 5.0

  2. The top two polled 81.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 18.6% between them.

    (32,935 + 31,109) ÷ 78,666 = 81.4% · 14,622 ÷ 78,666 = 18.6%

  3. Turnout of 57.3% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.2%).

    57.3 − 60.2 = −2.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.2 pp in 1993 to 2.3 pp.

    2.3 − 7.2 = −4.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1993, BSP in 1998.
