Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 17.8% between them.

    (96,877 + 77,708) ÷ 2,12,270 = 82.2% · 37,685 ÷ 2,12,270 = 17.8%

  2. Turnout of 62.1% was 14.4 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    62.1 − 76.5 = −14.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.5 pp in 2014 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 9.5 = −0.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2014, DMK in 2016.
