Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 13.9% between them.

    (39,873 + 28,844) ÷ 81,600 = 84.2% · 11,323 ÷ 81,600 = 13.9%

  2. Turnout of 67.6% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    67.6 − 70.2 = −2.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 23.1 pp in 1992 to 13.5 pp.

    13.5 − 23.1 = −9.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1992, SAD in 1997.
