Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 49,904 votes, 20× the 2,487-vote margin.

    49,904 ÷ 2,487 = 20.1

  2. The top two polled 71.8% of votes; the other 11 candidates 27.8% between them.

    (75,707 + 73,220) ÷ 2,07,310 = 71.8% · 57,702 ÷ 2,07,310 = 27.8%

  3. Turnout of 88.6% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    88.6 − 86.6 = +2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.2 pp in 2021 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 4.2 = −3.0 pp
