Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 48,879 votes, 5.9× the 8,228-vote margin.

    48,879 ÷ 8,228 = 5.9

  2. The top two polled 62.1% of votes; the other 13 candidates 37.5% between them.

    (58,395 + 50,167) ÷ 1,74,814 = 62.1% · 65,610 ÷ 1,74,814 = 37.5%

  3. Turnout of 85.0% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    85.0 − 86.6 = −1.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 23.2 pp in 2021 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 23.2 = −18.5 pp
