Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 64.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 34.3% between them.

    (44,305 + 25,285) ÷ 1,07,639 = 64.7% · 36,895 ÷ 1,07,639 = 34.3%

  2. Turnout of 75.2% was 5.0 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    75.2 − 70.2 = +5.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.4 pp in 1992 to 17.7 pp.

    17.7 − 18.4 = −0.7 pp

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