Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AINRC polled 5,687 votes, 2.4× the 2,330-vote margin.

    5,687 ÷ 2,330 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 58.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 42.0% between them.

    (8,675 + 6,345) ÷ 25,885 = 58.0% · 10,865 ÷ 25,885 = 42.0%

  3. Turnout of 89.4% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (84.1%).

    89.4 − 84.1 = +5.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.8 pp in 2011 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 22.8 = −13.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AINRC in 2011, INC in 2016.
