Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TMC(M) polled 6,208 votes, 3.7× the 1,667-vote margin.

    6,208 ÷ 1,667 = 3.7

  2. NOTA polled 2,147 votes, 1.3× the winning margin of 1,667.

    2,147 ÷ 1,667 = 1.3

  3. The top two polled 89.5% of votes; the other 12 candidates 10.5% between them.

    (76,619 + 74,952) ÷ 1,69,397 = 89.5% · 17,826 ÷ 1,69,397 = 10.5%

  4. Turnout of 75.5% was 1.0 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    75.5 − 76.5 = −1.0

  5. The margin narrowed from 13.7 pp in 2011 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 13.7 = −12.7 pp

  6. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2011, DMK in 2016.
