Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 34,491 votes, 1.8× the 19,321-vote margin.

    34,491 ÷ 19,321 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 69.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 30.4% between them.

    (59,882 + 40,561) ÷ 1,44,362 = 69.6% · 43,919 ÷ 1,44,362 = 30.4%

  3. Turnout of 69.9% was 9.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    69.9 − 79.8 = −9.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 25.3 pp in 2006 to 13.4 pp.

    13.4 − 25.3 = −11.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2006, DMK in 2011.

    2006 CPI(M) · 2011 DMK
