Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (94,946 + 81,598) ÷ 2,02,217 = 87.3% · 25,673 ÷ 2,02,217 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 68.0% was 8.5 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    68.0 − 76.5 = −8.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.3 pp in 2011 to 6.6 pp.

    6.6 − 11.3 = −4.7 pp

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