Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 10,158 votes, 2.5× the 4,123-vote margin.

    10,158 ÷ 4,123 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 85.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 14.3% between them.

    (39,010 + 34,887) ÷ 86,211 = 85.7% · 12,311 ÷ 86,211 = 14.3%

  3. Turnout of 66.7% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (67.4%).

    66.7 − 67.4 = −0.7

  4. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 1997 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 0.3 = +4.5 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1997.
