Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 43,055 votes, 1.8× the 23,395-vote margin.

    43,055 ÷ 23,395 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 72.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 27.1% between them.

    (89,332 + 65,937) ÷ 2,12,864 = 72.9% · 57,595 ÷ 2,12,864 = 27.1%

  3. Turnout of 82.1% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    82.1 − 76.5 = +5.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.3 pp in 2011 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 16.3 = −5.3 pp

  5. Sekar C H, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
