Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UDP polled 1,115 votes, 3.3× the 335-vote margin.

    1,115 ÷ 335 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 80.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 19.2% between them.

    (5,452 + 5,117) ÷ 13,075 = 80.8% · 2,505 ÷ 13,075 = 19.2%

  3. Turnout of 78.5% was 6.1 pp above the state's median seat (72.4%).

    78.5 − 72.4 = +6.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 24.9 pp in 1998 to 2.6 pp.

    2.6 − 24.9 = −22.3 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1998.
