Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed HSPDP polled 3,300 votes, 3.8× the 860-vote margin.

    3,300 ÷ 860 = 3.8

  2. The top two polled 56.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 43.5% between them.

    (5,114 + 4,254) ÷ 16,592 = 56.5% · 7,224 ÷ 16,592 = 43.5%

  3. Turnout of 71.9% was 0.5 pp below the state's median seat (72.4%).

    71.9 − 72.4 = −0.5

  4. The margin widened from 3.8 pp in 1998 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 3.8 = +1.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: HSPDP in 1998, IND in 2003.
