Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.2% of votes; the other 17 candidates 4.8% between them.

    (1,21,738 + 94,591) ÷ 2,27,147 = 95.2% · 10,818 ÷ 2,27,147 = 4.8%

  2. Turnout of 84.1% was 7.6 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    84.1 − 76.5 = +7.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.5 pp in 2011 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 28.5 = −16.5 pp

  4. Periyasamy I also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
