  1. DMK converted 23.1% of votes into 30.8% of seats, a seat premium of 7.7 pp.

    12 ÷ 39 = 30.8% · 30.8 − 23.1 = +7.7

  2. INC polled 11.1% of votes, the 3rd-highest share, but won 2 seats (5.1%).

    2 ÷ 39 = 5.1% · 5.1 − 11.1 = −6.0

  3. Tenkasi was decided by 887 votes, the closest of 39 seats; Madras South had the widest margin, 2,40,184.

    min / max of margin over 39 seats with a recorded margin
