Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 61,991 votes, 1.7× the 35,621-vote margin.

    61,991 ÷ 35,621 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 72.6% of votes; the other 13 candidates 26.9% between them.

    (1,18,967 + 83,346) ÷ 2,78,809 = 72.6% · 74,984 ÷ 2,78,809 = 26.9%

  3. Turnout of 84.0% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    84.0 − 86.6 = −2.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.9 pp in 2021 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 14.9 = −2.1 pp

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