Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 3,466 votes, 4.3× the 804-vote margin.

    3,466 ÷ 804 = 4.3

  2. The top two polled 52.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 47.6% between them.

    (4,753 + 3,949) ÷ 16,618 = 52.4% · 7,915 ÷ 16,618 = 47.6%

  3. Turnout of 76.2% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (73.0%).

    76.2 − 73.0 = +3.2

  4. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 1996 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 0.7 = +4.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 1996, INC in 2001.
