Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 52,684 votes, 3.3× the 15,968-vote margin.

    52,684 ÷ 15,968 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 66.4% of votes; the other 11 candidates 33.1% between them.

    (70,458 + 54,490) ÷ 1,88,249 = 66.4% · 62,390 ÷ 1,88,249 = 33.1%

  3. Turnout of 87.2% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    87.2 − 86.6 = +0.6

  4. The margin widened from 3.6 pp in 2021 to 8.5 pp.

    8.5 − 3.6 = +4.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2021, DMK in 2026.
