Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.2% of votes; the other 14 candidates 4.8% between them.

    (1,12,691 + 52,476) ÷ 1,73,464 = 95.2% · 8,297 ÷ 1,73,464 = 4.8%

  2. Turnout of 78.9% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    78.9 − 79.8 = −0.9

  3. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 2006 to 34.7 pp.

    34.7 − 0.8 = +33.9 pp

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