Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 3.5% between them.

    (84,529 + 72,233) ÷ 1,62,399 = 96.5% · 5,637 ÷ 1,62,399 = 3.5%

  2. Turnout of 81.6% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    81.6 − 79.8 = +1.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.1 pp in 2006 to 7.6 pp.

    7.6 − 9.1 = −1.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMDK in 2006, AIADMK in 2011.
