Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 10,280 votes, 4.7× the 2,168-vote margin.

    10,280 ÷ 2,168 = 4.7

  2. The top two polled 84.8% of votes; the other 10 candidates 15.2% between them.

    (48,216 + 46,048) ÷ 1,11,194 = 84.8% · 16,930 ÷ 1,11,194 = 15.2%

  3. Turnout of 68.9% was 10.8 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    68.9 − 79.7 = −10.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.9 pp in 2007 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 2.9 = −1.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2007.
