Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 15.8% between them.

    (56,147 + 45,173) ÷ 1,20,347 = 84.2% · 19,026 ÷ 1,20,347 = 15.8%

  2. Turnout of 53.4% was 7.6 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    53.4 − 61.0 = −7.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 29.9 pp in 1996 to 9.1 pp.

    9.1 − 29.9 = −20.8 pp

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