Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.7% of votes; the other 12 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (96,177 + 84,954) ÷ 2,01,877 = 89.7% · 20,746 ÷ 2,01,877 = 10.3%

  2. Turnout of 83.7% was 7.2 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    83.7 − 76.5 = +7.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.1 pp in 2011 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 24.1 = −18.5 pp

  4. Sengottaiyan K.A also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
