Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.4% of votes; the other 39 candidates 25.1% between them.

    (5,16,628 + 2,90,683) ÷ 10,99,321 = 73.4% · 2,76,357 ÷ 10,99,321 = 25.1%

  2. Turnout of 54.3% was 16.7 pp below the state's median seat (71.0%).

    54.3 − 71.0 = −16.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 23.3 pp in 2019 to 20.6 pp.

    20.6 − 23.3 = −2.7 pp

  4. DMK held the seat it won in 2019.
