Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 38,961 votes, 3.3× the 11,931-vote margin.

    38,961 ÷ 11,931 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 76.0% of votes; the other 12 candidates 23.5% between them.

    (88,250 + 76,319) ÷ 2,16,403 = 76.0% · 50,941 ÷ 2,16,403 = 23.5%

  3. Turnout of 78.2% was 8.4 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    78.2 − 86.6 = −8.4

  4. The margin widened from 4.6 pp in 2021 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 4.6 = +0.9 pp

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