Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JNP polled 5,910 votes, 2.8× the 2,101-vote margin.

    5,910 ÷ 2,101 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 84.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 14.0% between them.

    (24,932 + 22,831) ÷ 56,642 = 84.3% · 7,919 ÷ 56,642 = 14.0%

  3. Turnout of 58.4% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (62.3%).

    58.4 − 62.3 = −3.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 40.6 pp in 1971 to 3.7 pp.

    3.7 − 40.6 = −36.9 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 1971.
