Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.0% between them.

    (91,724 + 59,080) ÷ 1,58,681 = 95.0% · 7,877 ÷ 1,58,681 = 5.0%

  2. Turnout of 82.1% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    82.1 − 79.8 = +2.3

  3. The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 2006 to 20.6 pp.

    20.6 − 1.9 = +18.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2006, AIADMK in 2011.

    2006 CPI(M) · 2011 AIADMK
