Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 2,014 votes, 2.4× the 843-vote margin.

    2,014 ÷ 843 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 78.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 21.5% between them.

    (6,341 + 5,498) ÷ 15,084 = 78.5% · 3,245 ÷ 15,084 = 21.5%

  3. Turnout of 77.0% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (72.4%).

    77.0 − 72.4 = +4.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.9 pp in 1998 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 5.9 = −0.3 pp

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

    1998 UDP · 2003 NCP
