Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 2,53,332 votes, 1.0× the 2,43,844-vote margin.

    2,53,332 ÷ 2,43,844 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 69.5% of votes; the other 17 candidates 29.7% between them.

    (5,02,721 + 2,58,877) ÷ 10,96,046 = 69.5% · 3,25,144 ÷ 10,96,046 = 29.7%

  3. Turnout of 80.0% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (75.5%).

    80.0 − 75.5 = +4.5

  4. The margin widened from 12.7 pp in 2009 to 22.2 pp.

    22.2 − 12.7 = +9.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2009, AIADMK in 2014.
