Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 7.3% between them.

    (24,499 + 22,220) ÷ 50,563 = 92.4% · 3,682 ÷ 50,563 = 7.3%

  2. Turnout of 77.4% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (74.9%).

    77.4 − 74.9 = +2.5

  3. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 1998 to 4.5 pp.

    4.5 − 0.4 = +4.1 pp

  4. Des Raj, the 1998 winner, finished second in 2003.

    1998 winner name = 2003 runner-up name
