Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 57,300 votes, 3.8× the 15,081-vote margin.

    57,300 ÷ 15,081 = 3.8

  2. The top two polled 61.8% of votes; the other 15 candidates 37.7% between them.

    (73,737 + 58,656) ÷ 2,14,067 = 61.8% · 80,621 ÷ 2,14,067 = 37.7%

  3. Turnout of 76.6% was 10.0 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    76.6 − 86.6 = −10.0

  4. The margin widened from 5.6 pp in 2021 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 5.6 = +1.4 pp

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