Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 15,827 votes, 1.3× the 11,763-vote margin.

    15,827 ÷ 11,763 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 82.9% of votes; the other 12 candidates 17.1% between them.

    (1,03,952 + 92,189) ÷ 2,36,722 = 82.9% · 40,581 ÷ 2,36,722 = 17.1%

  3. Turnout of 76.6% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    76.6 − 76.5 = +0.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.8 pp in 2011 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 22.8 = −17.8 pp
