Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 18,191 votes, 1.7× the 10,804-vote margin.

    18,191 ÷ 10,804 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 81.0% of votes; the other 16 candidates 18.4% between them.

    (53,901 + 43,097) ÷ 1,19,738 = 81.0% · 22,045 ÷ 1,19,738 = 18.4%

  3. Turnout of 85.8% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    85.8 − 86.6 = −0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 32.8 pp in 2021 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 32.8 = −23.8 pp

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