Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 50,216 votes, 1.5× the 33,369-vote margin.

    50,216 ÷ 33,369 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 71.8% of votes; the other 17 candidates 27.8% between them.

    (91,371 + 58,002) ÷ 2,07,902 = 71.8% · 57,784 ÷ 2,07,902 = 27.8%

  3. Turnout of 91.3% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    91.3 − 86.6 = +4.7

  4. The margin widened from 11.4 pp in 2021 to 16.1 pp.

    16.1 − 11.4 = +4.7 pp

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