Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 8.2% between them.

    (64,605 + 49,495) ÷ 1,26,522 = 90.2% · 10,314 ÷ 1,26,522 = 8.2%

  2. Turnout of 60.5% was 9.7 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    60.5 − 70.2 = −9.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 44.5 pp in 1992 to 11.9 pp.

    11.9 − 44.5 = −32.6 pp

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