Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.5% of votes; the other 13 candidates 4.5% between them.

    (82,051 + 80,297) ÷ 1,69,925 = 95.5% · 7,577 ÷ 1,69,925 = 4.5%

  2. Turnout of 81.0% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    81.0 − 79.8 = +1.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 4.8 pp in 2006 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 4.8 = −3.8 pp

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