Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SUCI(C) polled 39,397 votes, 2.6× the 15,051-vote margin.

    39,397 ÷ 15,051 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 64.6% of votes; the other 8 candidates 35.4% between them.

    (64,582 + 49,531) ÷ 1,76,721 = 64.6% · 62,608 ÷ 1,76,721 = 35.4%

  3. Turnout of 84.0% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.0 − 83.7 = +0.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.3 pp in 2011 to 8.5 pp.

    8.5 − 18.3 = −9.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SUCI(C) in 2011, AITC in 2016.
