Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AMMK polled 14,136 votes, 3.0× the 4,786-vote margin.

    14,136 ÷ 4,786 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 87.4% of votes; the other 12 candidates 12.0% between them.

    (88,235 + 83,449) ÷ 1,96,347 = 87.4% · 23,565 ÷ 1,96,347 = 12.0%

  3. Turnout of 81.7% was 4.9 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    81.7 − 86.6 = −4.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 47.0 pp in 2021 to 2.4 pp.

    2.4 − 47.0 = −44.6 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2021.
