Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMK polled 2,17,083 votes, 5.2× the 42,016-vote margin.
2,17,083 ÷ 42,016 = 5.2
The top two polled 69.8% of votes; the other 23 candidates 28.7% between them.
(4,31,717 + 3,89,701) ÷ 11,76,620 = 69.8% · 3,37,774 ÷ 11,76,620 = 28.7%
Turnout of 68.4% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (75.5%).
68.4 − 75.5 = −7.1
The margin narrowed from 4.7 pp in 2009 to 3.6 pp.
3.6 − 4.7 = −1.1 pp
