Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SAD polled 22,315 votes, 15× the 1,520-vote margin.

    22,315 ÷ 1,520 = 14.7

  2. The top two polled 45.3% of votes; the other 10 candidates 54.7% between them.

    (24,846 + 23,326) ÷ 1,06,379 = 45.3% · 58,194 ÷ 1,06,379 = 54.7%

  3. Turnout of 60.4% was 7.0 pp below the state's median seat (67.4%).

    60.4 − 67.4 = −7.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 34.2 pp in 1997 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 34.2 = −32.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SAD in 1997, INC in 2002.
