[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.8% of votes; the other 13 candidates 11.2% between them.

    (91,413 + 70,694) ÷ 1,82,636 = 88.8% · 20,529 ÷ 1,82,636 = 11.2%

  2. Turnout of 73.9% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    73.9 − 76.5 = −2.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.5 pp in 2011 to 11.3 pp.

    11.3 − 26.5 = −15.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2011, AIADMK in 2016.
