Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 18.9% between them.

    (7,696 + 5,063) ÷ 15,735 = 81.1% · 2,976 ÷ 15,735 = 18.9%

  2. Turnout of 79.2% was 6.2 pp above the state's median seat (73.0%).

    79.2 − 73.0 = +6.2

  3. The margin widened from 4.5 pp in 1996 to 16.7 pp.

    16.7 − 4.5 = +12.2 pp

  4. M. Kandasamy, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
