Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UDP polled 2,235 votes, 8.0× the 279-vote margin.

    2,235 ÷ 279 = 8.0

  2. The top two polled 50.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 50.0% between them.

    (3,170 + 2,891) ÷ 12,134 = 50.0% · 6,073 ÷ 12,134 = 50.0%

  3. Turnout of 82.4% was 10.0 pp above the state's median seat (72.4%).

    82.4 − 72.4 = +10.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.3 pp in 1998 to 2.3 pp.

    2.3 − 18.3 = −16.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1998, NCP in 2003.
