Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.2% of votes; the other 12 candidates 12.4% between them.

    (5,54,230 + 3,78,347) ÷ 10,81,875 = 86.2% · 1,34,188 ÷ 10,81,875 = 12.4%

  2. Turnout of 71.2% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (73.2%).

    71.2 − 73.2 = −2.0

  3. The margin widened from 13.9 pp in 2014 to 16.3 pp.

    16.3 − 13.9 = +2.4 pp

  4. Mahendran. C, the 2014 winner, finished second in 2019.

    2014 winner name = 2019 runner-up name
