Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.4% of votes; the other 9 candidates 2.6% between them.

    (90,304 + 78,207) ÷ 1,73,050 = 97.4% · 4,539 ÷ 1,73,050 = 2.6%

  2. Turnout of 82.6% was 2.8 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    82.6 − 79.8 = +2.8

  3. The margin widened from 5.8 pp in 2006 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 5.8 = +1.2 pp

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

    2006 INC · 2011 AIADMK
