Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.8% of votes; the other 11 candidates 18.5% between them.

    (3,97,540 + 1,81,450) ÷ 7,07,804 = 81.8% · 1,31,001 ÷ 7,07,804 = 18.5%

  2. Turnout of 54.6% was 6.7 pp below the state's median seat (61.3%).

    54.6 − 61.3 = −6.7

  3. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 1999 to 30.5 pp.

    30.5 − 3.5 = +27.0 pp

  4. Elangovan. P. D., the 1999 winner, finished second in 2004.

    1999 winner name = 2004 runner-up name
