Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 64.9% of votes; the other 16 candidates 35.1% between them.

    (68,789 + 35,646) ÷ 1,60,990 = 64.9% · 56,555 ÷ 1,60,990 = 35.1%

  2. Turnout of 66.9% was 9.6 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    66.9 − 76.5 = −9.6

  3. The margin widened from 16.5 pp in 2011 to 20.6 pp.

    20.6 − 16.5 = +4.1 pp

  4. Vijayadharani S also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
