Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 27,965 votes, 2.1× the 13,104-vote margin.

    27,965 ÷ 13,104 = 2.1

  2. The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 21.0% between them.

    (83,006 + 69,902) ÷ 1,93,571 = 79.0% · 40,663 ÷ 1,93,571 = 21.0%

  3. Turnout of 81.5% was 5.0 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    81.5 − 76.5 = +5.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 11.9 pp in 2011 to 6.8 pp.

    6.8 − 11.9 = −5.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2011, AIADMK in 2016.
