[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed MNKPL polled 30,459 votes, 6.0× the 5,048-vote margin.

    30,459 ÷ 5,048 = 6.0

  2. The top two polled 71.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 28.8% between them.

    (45,963 + 40,915) ÷ 1,22,072 = 71.2% · 35,125 ÷ 1,22,072 = 28.8%

  3. Turnout of 72.6% was 11.6 pp above the state's median seat (61.0%).

    72.6 − 61.0 = +11.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 31.4 pp in 1996 to 4.1 pp.

    4.1 − 31.4 = −27.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1996, PMK in 2001.
