Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,08,825 votes, 1.1× the 1,96,199-vote margin.

    2,08,825 ÷ 1,96,199 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 63.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 35.3% between them.

    (4,25,679 + 2,29,480) ÷ 10,39,119 = 63.0% · 3,66,795 ÷ 10,39,119 = 35.3%

  3. Turnout of 68.1% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (71.0%).

    68.1 − 71.0 = −2.9

  4. The margin widened from 11.3 pp in 2019 to 18.9 pp.

    18.9 − 11.3 = +7.6 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2019.
