Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 15.2% between them.

    (60,262 + 29,698) ÷ 1,09,267 = 82.3% · 16,599 ÷ 1,09,267 = 15.2%

  2. Turnout of 68.4% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (65.1%).

    68.4 − 65.1 = +3.3

  3. The margin widened from 4.1 pp in 1989 to 28.0 pp.

    28.0 − 4.1 = +23.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 1989, AIADMK in 1991.
