Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 50,052 votes, 2.2× the 23,121-vote margin.

    50,052 ÷ 23,121 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 68.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.3% between them.

    (73,776 + 50,655) ÷ 1,82,340 = 68.2% · 57,010 ÷ 1,82,340 = 31.3%

  3. Turnout of 90.4% was 3.8 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    90.4 − 86.6 = +3.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.0 pp in 2021 to 12.7 pp.

    12.7 − 16.0 = −3.3 pp

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