Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 4,534 votes, 1.3× the 3,553-vote margin.

    4,534 ÷ 3,553 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 88.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 11.3% between them.

    (56,881 + 53,328) ÷ 1,24,285 = 88.7% · 14,067 ÷ 1,24,285 = 11.3%

  3. Turnout of 68.3% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (68.5%).

    68.3 − 68.5 = −0.2

  4. The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 1998 to 2.9 pp.

    2.9 − 1.9 = +1.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1998.
