Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.3% of votes; the other 18 candidates 15.7% between them.

    (93,453 + 70,461) ÷ 1,94,369 = 84.3% · 30,455 ÷ 1,94,369 = 15.7%

  2. Turnout of 69.6% was 6.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    69.6 − 76.5 = −6.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 29.8 pp in 2011 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 29.8 = −18.0 pp

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