Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 11.6% between them.

    (8,000 + 5,979) ÷ 15,815 = 88.4% · 1,836 ÷ 15,815 = 11.6%

  2. Turnout of 83.6% was 10.6 pp above the state's median seat (73.0%).

    83.6 − 73.0 = +10.6

  3. The margin widened from 1.2 pp in 1996 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 1.2 = +11.6 pp

  4. T. Thiagarajan, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
