Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 37,142 votes, 15× the 2,489-vote margin.

    37,142 ÷ 2,489 = 14.9

  2. The top two polled 48.5% of votes; the other 14 candidates 51.5% between them.

    (40,546 + 38,057) ÷ 1,61,946 = 48.5% · 83,343 ÷ 1,61,946 = 51.5%

  3. Turnout of 61.9% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    61.9 − 59.4 = +2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.5 pp in 2007 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 4.5 = −3.0 pp

  5. BSP held the seat it won in 2007.
