Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed AIADMK polled 49,924 votes, 17× the 2,925-vote margin.
49,924 ÷ 2,925 = 17.1
The top two polled 67.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 31.7% between them.
(68,580 + 65,655) ÷ 1,97,593 = 67.9% · 62,716 ÷ 1,97,593 = 31.7%
Turnout of 89.1% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
89.1 − 86.6 = +2.5
The margin narrowed from 15.0 pp in 2021 to 1.5 pp.
1.5 − 15.0 = −13.5 pp
The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2021, TVK in 2026.
