Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (51,916 + 39,809) ÷ 1,01,004 = 90.8% · 9,279 ÷ 1,01,004 = 9.2%

  2. Turnout of 74.7% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.6%).

    74.7 − 76.6 = −1.9

  3. The margin widened from 6.2 pp in 1994 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 6.2 = +5.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JD in 1994, INC in 1997.

    1994 JD · 1997 INC
