Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADM polled 21,827 votes, 2.8× the 7,667-vote margin.

    21,827 ÷ 7,667 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 63.4% of votes; the other 9 candidates 33.8% between them.

    (38,558 + 30,891) ÷ 1,09,596 = 63.4% · 37,049 ÷ 1,09,596 = 33.8%

  3. Turnout of 76.8% was 6.8 pp above the state's median seat (70.0%).

    76.8 − 70.0 = +6.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.7 pp in 1984 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 10.7 = −3.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 1984, DMK in 1989.
