Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 1,80,297 votes, 2.3× the 77,146-vote margin.

    1,80,297 ÷ 77,146 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 78.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (4,68,194 + 3,91,048) ÷ 11,01,345 = 78.0% · 2,29,410 ÷ 11,01,345 = 20.8%

  3. Turnout of 81.1% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (75.5%).

    81.1 − 75.5 = +5.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.5 pp in 2009 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 17.5 = −10.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2009, PMK in 2014.
