Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 90,726 votes, 2.2× the 42,140-vote margin.

    90,726 ÷ 42,140 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 68.9% of votes; the other 12 candidates 30.5% between them.

    (1,46,466 + 1,04,326) ÷ 3,63,991 = 68.9% · 1,11,083 ÷ 3,63,991 = 30.5%

  3. Turnout of 85.7% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    85.7 − 86.6 = −0.9

  4. The margin widened from 3.2 pp in 2021 to 11.6 pp.

    11.6 − 3.2 = +8.4 pp

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