Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.6% between them.

    (61,235 + 53,863) ÷ 1,22,334 = 94.1% · 6,844 ÷ 1,22,334 = 5.6%

  2. Turnout of 73.0% was 12.0 pp above the state's median seat (61.0%).

    73.0 − 61.0 = +12.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 33.7 pp in 1996 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 33.7 = −27.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1996, AIADMK in 2001.
