Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 19,816 votes, 1.9× the 10,320-vote margin.

    19,816 ÷ 10,320 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 62.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 36.7% between them.

    (30,996 + 20,676) ÷ 83,308 = 62.0% · 30,576 ÷ 83,308 = 36.7%

  3. Turnout of 66.0% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (62.3%).

    66.0 − 62.3 = +3.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 34.5 pp in 1971 to 12.4 pp.

    12.4 − 34.5 = −22.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1971, INC in 1977.
