Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 4.8% between them.

    (48,912 + 40,531) ÷ 93,928 = 95.2% · 4,484 ÷ 93,928 = 4.8%

  2. Turnout of 54.9% was 17.8 pp below the state's median seat (72.7%).

    54.9 − 72.7 = −17.8

  3. The margin widened from 8.0 pp in 1996 to 8.9 pp.

    8.9 − 8.0 = +0.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: KEC in 1996, CMPKS in 2001.
