Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMDK polled 1,27,370 votes, 1.0× the 1,26,099-vote margin.
1,27,370 ÷ 1,26,099 = 1.0
The top two polled 69.6% of votes; the other 25 candidates 29.0% between them.
(3,98,139 + 2,72,040) ÷ 9,62,330 = 69.6% · 2,79,258 ÷ 9,62,330 = 29.0%
Turnout of 67.8% was 7.7 pp below the state's median seat (75.5%).
67.8 − 75.5 = −7.7
The margin widened from 3.0 pp in 2009 to 13.1 pp.
13.1 − 3.0 = +10.1 pp
The seat changed hands: INC in 2009, AIADMK in 2014.
