Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (16,197 + 9,094) ÷ 27,884 = 90.7% · 2,593 ÷ 27,884 = 9.3%

  2. Turnout of 74.5% was 13.2 pp below the state's median seat (87.7%).

    74.5 − 87.7 = −13.2

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 2003 to 25.5 pp.

    25.5 − 2.7 = +22.8 pp

  4. NPF held the seat it won in 2003.
