Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 61,609 votes, 4.9× the 12,645-vote margin.

    61,609 ÷ 12,645 = 4.9

  2. The top two polled 66.4% of votes; the other 17 candidates 33.4% between them.

    (78,201 + 65,556) ÷ 2,16,652 = 66.4% · 72,387 ÷ 2,16,652 = 33.4%

  3. Turnout of 89.1% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.1 − 86.6 = +2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.5 pp in 2021 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 17.5 = −11.7 pp

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