Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 7,124 votes, 1.3× the 5,563-vote margin.

    7,124 ÷ 5,563 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 72.3% of votes; the other 12 candidates 27.7% between them.

    (13,955 + 8,392) ÷ 30,917 = 72.3% · 8,570 ÷ 30,917 = 27.7%

  3. Turnout of 88.8% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (84.1%).

    88.8 − 84.1 = +4.7

  4. The margin widened from 8.6 pp in 2011 to 18.0 pp.

    18.0 − 8.6 = +9.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2011, AINRC in 2016.

    2011 INC · 2016 AINRC
