Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIICT polled 27,683 votes, 1.1× the 24,652-vote margin.

    27,683 ÷ 24,652 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 64.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 35.5% between them.

    (53,064 + 28,412) ÷ 1,26,304 = 64.5% · 44,828 ÷ 1,26,304 = 35.5%

  3. Turnout of 56.0% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (55.6%).

    56.0 − 55.6 = +0.4

  4. The margin widened from 7.1 pp in 1993 to 19.5 pp.

    19.5 − 7.1 = +12.4 pp
