Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMDK polled 11,482 votes, 1.7× the 6,853-vote margin.

    11,482 ÷ 6,853 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 88.7% of votes; the other 11 candidates 11.3% between them.

    (1,01,073 + 94,220) ÷ 2,20,233 = 88.7% · 24,940 ÷ 2,20,233 = 11.3%

  3. Turnout of 79.8% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    79.8 − 76.5 = +3.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.1 pp in 2011 to 3.1 pp.

    3.1 − 10.1 = −7.0 pp

  5. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2011.
