Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,030 votes, 1.4× the 760-vote margin.

    1,030 ÷ 760 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 74.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 22.7% between them.

    (5,467 + 4,707) ÷ 13,687 = 74.3% · 3,107 ÷ 13,687 = 22.7%

  3. Turnout of 70.5% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (72.4%).

    70.5 − 72.4 = −1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.3 pp in 1998 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 15.3 = −9.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: UDP in 1998, MDP in 2003.
