Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 17 candidates 19.1% between them.

    (73,351 + 57,418) ÷ 1,61,721 = 80.9% · 30,952 ÷ 1,61,721 = 19.1%

  2. Turnout of 65.6% was 10.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    65.6 − 76.5 = −10.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.3 pp in 2011 to 9.9 pp.

    9.9 − 31.3 = −21.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2011, AIADMK in 2016.
