Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 63,808 votes, 15× the 4,119-vote margin.

    63,808 ÷ 4,119 = 15.5

  2. The top two polled 65.8% of votes; the other 22 candidates 33.9% between them.

    (72,982 + 68,863) ÷ 2,15,422 = 65.8% · 73,004 ÷ 2,15,422 = 33.9%

  3. Turnout of 87.4% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    87.4 − 86.6 = +0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.3 pp in 2021 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 7.3 = −5.4 pp

  5. Lakshmanan R also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
