Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 18.7% between them.

    (28,384 + 16,465) ÷ 55,144 = 81.3% · 10,295 ÷ 55,144 = 18.7%

  2. Turnout of 49.8% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    49.8 − 50.0 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 4.8 pp in 1993 to 21.6 pp.

    21.6 − 4.8 = +16.8 pp
