Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 41,428 votes, 6.0× the 6,912-vote margin.

    41,428 ÷ 6,912 = 6.0

  2. The top two polled 68.0% of votes; the other 15 candidates 32.0% between them.

    (63,757 + 56,845) ÷ 1,77,252 = 68.0% · 56,650 ÷ 1,77,252 = 32.0%

  3. Turnout of 81.6% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    81.6 − 76.5 = +5.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.8 pp in 2011 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 9.8 = −5.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2011, DMK in 2016.
