Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 53.6% of votes; the other 15 candidates 44.5% between them.

    (48,336 + 23,258) ÷ 1,33,639 = 53.6% · 59,462 ÷ 1,33,639 = 44.5%

  2. Turnout of 71.4% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    71.4 − 74.4 = −3.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 19.4 pp in 1990 to 18.8 pp.

    18.8 − 19.4 = −0.6 pp
