Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.8% of votes; the other 11 candidates 13.1% between them.

    (85,048 + 76,591) ÷ 1,86,234 = 86.8% · 24,465 ÷ 1,86,234 = 13.1%

  2. Turnout of 75.7% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    75.7 − 76.5 = −0.8

  3. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 2011 to 4.5 pp.

    4.5 − 0.8 = +3.7 pp

  4. DMK held the seat it won in 2011.
