Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 11,047 votes, 1.4× the 7,708-vote margin.

    11,047 ÷ 7,708 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 90.4% of votes; the other 10 candidates 9.4% between them.

    (71,556 + 63,848) ÷ 1,49,793 = 90.4% · 14,120 ÷ 1,49,793 = 9.4%

  3. Turnout of 67.7% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (68.5%).

    67.7 − 68.5 = −0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.1 pp in 1998 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 6.1 = −1.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1998.
