Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 19,442 votes, 2.9× the 6,629-vote margin.

    19,442 ÷ 6,629 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 75.2% of votes; the other 13 candidates 24.8% between them.

    (52,411 + 45,782) ÷ 1,30,569 = 75.2% · 32,376 ÷ 1,30,569 = 24.8%

  3. Turnout of 58.6% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (58.2%).

    58.6 − 58.2 = +0.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.2 pp in 2003 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 17.2 = −12.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2003.
