Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 99.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 0.9% between them.

    (2,48,099 + 1,66,121) ÷ 4,17,783 = 99.1% · 3,563 ÷ 4,17,783 = 0.9%

  2. Turnout of 72.7% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (74.0%).

    72.7 − 74.0 = −1.3

  3. The margin widened from 18.3 pp in 1962 to 19.6 pp.

    19.6 − 18.3 = +1.3 pp

  4. DMK held the seat it won in 1962.
