Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (80,579 + 61,209) ÷ 1,61,631 = 87.7% · 19,836 ÷ 1,61,631 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 66.3% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (68.9%).

    66.3 − 68.9 = −2.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.9 pp in 1999 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 18.9 = −6.9 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1999.
