Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed VCK polled 17,492 votes, 4.3× the 4,104-vote margin.

    17,492 ÷ 4,104 = 4.3

  2. The top two polled 83.6% of votes; the other 10 candidates 16.4% between them.

    (90,108 + 86,004) ÷ 2,10,711 = 83.6% · 34,599 ÷ 2,10,711 = 16.4%

  3. Turnout of 79.7% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    79.7 − 76.5 = +3.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 33.5 pp in 2011 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 33.5 = −31.6 pp

  5. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2011.
