Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.5% of votes; the other 17 candidates 10.5% between them.

    (1,03,129 + 72,933) ÷ 1,96,700 = 89.5% · 20,638 ÷ 1,96,700 = 10.5%

  2. Turnout of 77.8% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    77.8 − 76.5 = +1.3

  3. The margin widened from 12.3 pp in 2011 to 15.4 pp.

    15.4 − 12.3 = +3.1 pp

  4. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2011.
