Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 61,159 votes, 83× the 734-vote margin.

    61,159 ÷ 734 = 83.3

  2. The top two polled 64.8% of votes; the other 12 candidates 34.9% between them.

    (63,833 + 63,099) ÷ 1,96,026 = 64.8% · 68,380 ÷ 1,96,026 = 34.9%

  3. Turnout of 89.1% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.1 − 86.6 = +2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.4 pp in 2021 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 5.4 = −5.0 pp

  5. Arjunan. P, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
