Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.7% between them.

    (59,678 + 48,871) ÷ 1,16,308 = 93.3% · 7,749 ÷ 1,16,308 = 6.7%

  2. Turnout of 66.2% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (61.0%).

    66.2 − 61.0 = +5.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 21.2 pp in 1996 to 9.3 pp.

    9.3 − 21.2 = −11.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1996, AIADMK in 2001.
