Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.8% between them.

    (53,156 + 36,512) ÷ 95,180 = 94.2% · 5,487 ÷ 95,180 = 5.8%

  2. Turnout of 53.0% was 8.0 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    53.0 − 61.0 = −8.0

  3. The margin widened from 10.5 pp in 1998 to 17.5 pp.

    17.5 − 10.5 = +7.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1998, TMC(M) in 2001.
