Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 55,258 votes, 3.6× the 15,519-vote margin.

    55,258 ÷ 15,519 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 66.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 33.2% between them.

    (70,856 + 55,337) ÷ 1,90,378 = 66.3% · 63,291 ÷ 1,90,378 = 33.2%

  3. Turnout of 84.9% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    84.9 − 86.6 = −1.7

  4. The margin widened from 2.8 pp in 2021 to 8.2 pp.

    8.2 − 2.8 = +5.4 pp

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