Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 17 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (1,08,569 + 75,797) ÷ 2,11,227 = 87.3% · 26,861 ÷ 2,11,227 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 73.8% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    73.8 − 76.5 = −2.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.0 pp in 2011 to 15.5 pp.

    15.5 − 16.0 = −0.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2011, DMK in 2016.
