Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 11,570 votes, 2.2× the 5,312-vote margin.

    11,570 ÷ 5,312 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 82.0% of votes; the other 15 candidates 18.0% between them.

    (71,575 + 66,263) ÷ 1,68,035 = 82.0% · 30,197 ÷ 1,68,035 = 18.0%

  3. Turnout of 81.7% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    81.7 − 76.5 = +5.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.7 pp in 2011 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 17.7 = −14.5 pp

  5. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2011.
