Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 2.8% between them.

    (11,164 + 6,888) ÷ 18,589 = 97.1% · 521 ÷ 18,589 = 2.8%

  2. Turnout of 90.9% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (87.6%).

    90.9 − 87.6 = +3.3

  3. The margin widened from 16.7 pp in 2001 to 23.0 pp.

    23.0 − 16.7 = +6.3 pp

  4. P. Rajavelu, the 2001 winner, finished second in 2006.

    2001 winner name = 2006 runner-up name
