Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 5,476 votes, 1.0× the 5,228-vote margin.

    5,476 ÷ 5,228 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 16 candidates 10.0% between them.

    (88,952 + 83,724) ÷ 1,91,843 = 90.0% · 19,167 ÷ 1,91,843 = 10.0%

  3. Turnout of 84.5% was 8.0 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    84.5 − 76.5 = +8.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.8 pp in 2011 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 4.8 = −2.1 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2011.
