[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 5,647 votes, 4.0× the 1,417-vote margin.

    5,647 ÷ 1,417 = 4.0

  2. The top two polled 73.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 25.4% between them.

    (10,578 + 9,161) ÷ 26,766 = 73.7% · 6,799 ÷ 26,766 = 25.4%

  3. The margin narrowed from 22.1 pp in 2021 to 5.3 pp.

    5.3 − 22.1 = −16.8 pp

  4. M. Vaithianathan, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
