Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 13,813 votes, 2.6× the 5,298-vote margin.

    13,813 ÷ 5,298 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (43,908 + 38,610) ÷ 1,04,269 = 79.1% · 16,540 ÷ 1,04,269 = 15.9%

  3. Turnout of 10.9% was 13.4 pp below the state's median seat (24.3%).

    10.9 − 24.3 = −13.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.4 pp in 1989 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 15.4 = −10.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SADSS in 1989, INC in 1991.

    1989 SADSS · 1991 INC
