Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 5,624 votes, 1.4× the 4,143-vote margin.

    5,624 ÷ 4,143 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 72.4% of votes; the other 9 candidates 27.5% between them.

    (10,164 + 6,021) ÷ 22,363 = 72.4% · 6,158 ÷ 22,363 = 27.5%

  3. Turnout of 72.0% was 1.0 pp below the state's median seat (73.0%).

    72.0 − 73.0 = −1.0

  4. The margin widened from 7.7 pp in 1996 to 18.5 pp.

    18.5 − 7.7 = +10.8 pp

  5. K. Natarajan, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
