Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 15,729 votes, 1.2× the 12,814-vote margin.

    15,729 ÷ 12,814 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 70.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 28.5% between them.

    (33,040 + 20,226) ÷ 75,991 = 70.1% · 21,679 ÷ 75,991 = 28.5%

  3. Turnout of 50.4% was 8.8 pp below the state's median seat (59.2%).

    50.4 − 59.2 = −8.8

  4. The margin widened from 13.4 pp in 1995 to 16.9 pp.

    16.9 − 13.4 = +3.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1995, BJD in 2000.

    1995 INC · 2000 BJD
