Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 16.3% between them.

    (32,774 + 14,613) ÷ 57,128 = 82.9% · 9,289 ÷ 57,128 = 16.3%

  2. Turnout of 37.0% was 13.0 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    37.0 − 50.0 = −13.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.0 pp in 1993 to 31.8 pp.

    31.8 − 3.0 = +28.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JD in 1993, INC in 1998.
