Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 18 candidates 17.3% between them.

    (1,80,384 + 1,04,073) ÷ 3,46,005 = 82.2% · 60,015 ÷ 3,46,005 = 17.3%

  2. Turnout of 79.0% was 7.6 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    79.0 − 86.6 = −7.6

  3. The margin widened from 18.5 pp in 2021 to 22.1 pp.

    22.1 − 18.5 = +3.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2021, TVK in 2026.
