Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (3,22,138 + 1,71,649) ÷ 6,53,240 = 75.6% · 1,35,745 ÷ 6,53,240 = 20.8%

  2. Turnout of 65.0% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (64.1%).

    65.0 − 64.1 = +0.9

  3. The margin widened from 16.4 pp in 1989 to 23.0 pp.

    23.0 − 16.4 = +6.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 1989, INC in 1991.

    1989 AIADMK · 1991 INC
