Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed MDMK polled 27,809 votes, 3.1× the 9,039-vote margin.

    27,809 ÷ 9,039 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 72.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 27.4% between them.

    (45,796 + 36,757) ÷ 1,13,785 = 72.6% · 31,173 ÷ 1,13,785 = 27.4%

  3. Turnout of 58.7% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    58.7 − 61.0 = −2.3

  4. The margin widened from 6.5 pp in 1996 to 7.9 pp.

    7.9 − 6.5 = +1.4 pp

  5. CPI held the seat it won in 1996.
