Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed NPEP polled 619 votes, 8.4× the 74-vote margin.

    619 ÷ 74 = 8.4

  2. NOTA polled 195 votes, 2.6× the winning margin of 74.

    195 ÷ 74 = 2.6

  3. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 3.8% between them.

    (7,928 + 7,854) ÷ 16,401 = 96.2% · 619 ÷ 16,401 = 3.8%

  4. Turnout of 96.9% was 10.2 pp above the state's median seat (86.7%).

    96.9 − 86.7 = +10.2

  5. The margin narrowed from 29.8 pp in 2013 to 0.5 pp.

    0.5 − 29.8 = −29.3 pp

  6. Yitachu also won in 2013.

    2013 winner name = 2018 winner name
