Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 8,289 votes, 1.1× the 7,274-vote margin.

    8,289 ÷ 7,274 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 9.5% between them.

    (42,459 + 35,185) ÷ 87,148 = 89.1% · 8,289 ÷ 87,148 = 9.5%

  3. Turnout of 71.1% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    71.1 − 70.2 = +0.9

  4. The margin widened from 7.3 pp in 1992 to 8.3 pp.

    8.3 − 7.3 = +1.0 pp

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