Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 37,183 votes, 87× the 428-vote margin.

    37,183 ÷ 428 = 86.9

  2. NOTA polled 981 votes, 2.3× the winning margin of 428.

    981 ÷ 428 = 2.3

  3. The top two polled 70.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 28.8% between them.

    (46,564 + 46,136) ÷ 1,31,587 = 70.4% · 37,906 ÷ 1,31,587 = 28.8%

  4. Turnout of 79.4% matched the state's median seat.

    79.4 − 79.4 = 0.0

  5. The margin narrowed from 17.1 pp in 2021 to 0.3 pp.

    0.3 − 17.1 = −16.8 pp

  6. Kadakampally Surendran, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
