Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TMC(M) polled 26,681 votes, 1.0× the 25,540-vote margin.

    26,681 ÷ 25,540 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 89.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 8.4% between them.

    (3,40,162 + 3,14,622) ÷ 7,28,960 = 89.8% · 60,987 ÷ 7,28,960 = 8.4%

  3. Turnout of 59.4% was 0.2 pp above the state's median seat (59.2%).

    59.4 − 59.2 = +0.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.5 pp in 1998 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 15.5 = −12.0 pp

  5. PMK held the seat it won in 1998.
