Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 61,355 votes, 43× the 1,426-vote margin.

    61,355 ÷ 1,426 = 43.0

  2. The top two polled 68.3% of votes; the other 16 candidates 31.3% between them.

    (83,041 + 81,615) ÷ 2,41,216 = 68.3% · 75,611 ÷ 2,41,216 = 31.3%

  3. Turnout of 89.7% was 3.1 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.7 − 86.6 = +3.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.5 pp in 2021 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 5.5 = −4.9 pp

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