Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (69,980 + 61,736) ÷ 1,41,537 = 93.1% · 9,821 ÷ 1,41,537 = 6.9%

  2. Turnout of 72.3% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    72.3 − 76.5 = −4.2

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 2011 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 2.7 = +3.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2011, AIADMK in 2016.
