Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,485 votes, 4.6× the 323-vote margin.

    1,485 ÷ 323 = 4.6

  2. The top two polled 74.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 24.8% between them.

    (2,386 + 2,063) ÷ 5,979 = 74.4% · 1,485 ÷ 5,979 = 24.8%

  3. Turnout of 91.5% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (90.7%).

    91.5 − 90.7 = +0.8

  4. The margin widened from 2.8 pp in 1987 to 5.4 pp.

    5.4 − 2.8 = +2.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1987, NPC in 1989.
