Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.6% of votes; the other 13 candidates 13.4% between them.

    (1,22,082 + 1,06,829) ÷ 2,64,427 = 86.6% · 35,516 ÷ 2,64,427 = 13.4%

  2. Turnout of 66.6% was 9.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    66.6 − 76.5 = −9.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.8 pp in 2011 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 16.8 = −11.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2011, DMK in 2016.
