Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.1% between them.

    (59,872 + 30,782) ÷ 95,567 = 94.9% · 4,884 ÷ 95,567 = 5.1%

  2. Turnout of 51.7% was 9.3 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    51.7 − 61.0 = −9.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 45.1 pp in 1996 to 30.4 pp.

    30.4 − 45.1 = −14.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1996, INC in 2001.
