[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 11,354 votes, 8.5× the 1,332-vote margin.

    11,354 ÷ 1,332 = 8.5

  2. NOTA polled 3,884 votes, 2.9× the winning margin of 1,332.

    3,884 ÷ 1,332 = 2.9

  3. The top two polled 86.6% of votes; the other 10 candidates 13.4% between them.

    (89,042 + 87,710) ÷ 2,04,105 = 86.6% · 27,353 ÷ 2,04,105 = 13.4%

  4. Turnout of 69.6% was 6.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    69.6 − 76.5 = −6.9

  5. The margin narrowed from 18.1 pp in 2011 to 0.7 pp.

    0.7 − 18.1 = −17.4 pp

  6. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2011.
