Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IJK polled 4,098 votes, 1.3× the 3,101-vote margin.

    4,098 ÷ 3,101 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 8.7% between them.

    (65,466 + 62,365) ÷ 1,39,957 = 91.3% · 12,126 ÷ 1,39,957 = 8.7%

  3. Turnout of 78.9% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    78.9 − 79.8 = −0.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.8 pp in 2006 to 2.2 pp.

    2.2 − 2.8 = −0.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2006, CPI in 2011.

    2006 AIADMK · 2011 CPI
