Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 4.3% between them.

    (78,622 + 58,953) ÷ 1,43,703 = 95.7% · 6,128 ÷ 1,43,703 = 4.3%

  2. Turnout of 81.5% was 1.7 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    81.5 − 79.8 = +1.7

  3. The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 2006 to 13.7 pp.

    13.7 − 6.0 = +7.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2006, AIADMK in 2011.
