[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown
  1. Third-placed IC(J) polled 3,966 votes, 1.8× the 2,224-vote margin.

    3,966 ÷ 2,224 = 1.8
  2. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.9% between them.

    (25,520 + 23,296) ÷ 54,786 = 89.1% · 5,397 ÷ 54,786 = 9.9%
  3. Turnout of 64.7% was 8.8 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    64.7 − 55.9 = +8.8
  4. The margin narrowed from 12.6 pp in 1980 to 4.1 pp.

    4.1 − 12.6 = −8.5 pp
  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1980, LKD in 1985.
