Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 68.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 31.2% between them.

    (43,226 + 20,692) ÷ 92,921 = 68.8% · 28,981 ÷ 92,921 = 31.2%

  2. Turnout of 58.1% was 19.2 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    58.1 − 77.3 = −19.2

  3. The margin widened from 5.9 pp in 1996 to 24.3 pp.

    24.3 − 5.9 = +18.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1996, AITC in 2001.
