Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 2,17,260 votes, 1.0× the 2,11,563-vote margin.

    2,17,260 ÷ 2,11,563 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 71.6% of votes; the other 12 candidates 26.8% between them.

    (4,66,995 + 2,55,432) ÷ 10,08,582 = 71.6% · 2,69,887 ÷ 10,08,582 = 26.8%

  3. Turnout of 76.3% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (75.5%).

    76.3 − 75.5 = +0.8

  4. The margin widened from 6.4 pp in 2009 to 21.0 pp.

    21.0 − 6.4 = +14.6 pp

  5. Ganeshamurthi.A, the 2009 winner, finished second in 2014.

    2009 winner name = 2014 runner-up name
