Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (41,419 + 38,208) ÷ 82,711 = 96.3% · 3,084 ÷ 82,711 = 3.7%

  2. Turnout of 52.0% was 9.0 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    52.0 − 61.0 = −9.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 51.6 pp in 1996 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 51.6 = −47.7 pp

  4. TMC(M) held the seat it won in 1996.
