Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 9,959 votes, 1.5× the 6,434-vote margin.

    9,959 ÷ 6,434 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 81.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (38,075 + 31,641) ÷ 85,509 = 81.5% · 10,817 ÷ 85,509 = 12.7%

  3. Turnout of 75.1% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (73.7%).

    75.1 − 73.7 = +1.4

  4. The margin widened from 3.4 pp in 1980 to 7.5 pp.

    7.5 − 3.4 = +4.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1980, AIADMK in 1984.
