Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 20,990 votes, 1.1× the 19,728-vote margin.

    20,990 ÷ 19,728 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 65.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 29.6% between them.

    (46,533 + 26,805) ÷ 1,12,171 = 65.4% · 33,204 ÷ 1,12,171 = 29.6%

  3. Turnout of 72.8% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (68.3%).

    72.8 − 68.3 = +4.5

  4. The margin widened from 9.5 pp in 1991 to 17.6 pp.

    17.6 − 9.5 = +8.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 1991, DMK in 1996.
