Arithmetic · working shown
  1. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.7% between them.

    (94,123 + 63,857) ÷ 1,67,567 = 94.3% · 9,587 ÷ 1,67,567 = 5.7%
  2. Turnout of 78.1% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    78.1 − 79.8 = −1.7
  3. The margin widened from 17.8 pp in 2006 to 18.1 pp.

    18.1 − 17.8 = +0.3 pp
  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2006, AIADMK in 2011.
