Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 15,736 votes, 3.2× the 4,891-vote margin.

    15,736 ÷ 4,891 = 3.2

  2. The top two polled 85.9% of votes; the other 17 candidates 14.1% between them.

    (87,637 + 82,746) ÷ 1,98,237 = 85.9% · 27,854 ÷ 1,98,237 = 14.1%

  3. Turnout of 81.1% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    81.1 − 76.5 = +4.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.1 pp in 2011 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 18.1 = −15.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2011, DMK in 2016.
