Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.8% of votes; the other 17 candidates 11.8% between them.

    (39,551 + 30,672) ÷ 80,938 = 86.8% · 9,540 ÷ 80,938 = 11.8%

  2. Turnout of 49.6% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    49.6 − 50.0 = −0.4

  3. The margin widened from 5.1 pp in 1993 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 5.1 = +5.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: IND in 1993, INC in 1998.
