Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,606 votes, 1.3× the 1,272-vote margin.

    1,606 ÷ 1,272 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 96.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 3.3% between them.

    (78,642 + 77,370) ÷ 1,61,408 = 96.7% · 5,396 ÷ 1,61,408 = 3.3%

  3. Turnout of 80.6% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    80.6 − 79.8 = +0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 1.4 pp in 2006 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 1.4 = −0.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2006, DMK in 2011.
