Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 65,716 votes, 6.9× the 9,517-vote margin.

    65,716 ÷ 9,517 = 6.9

  2. The top two polled 67.8% of votes; the other 18 candidates 32.0% between them.

    (87,342 + 77,825) ÷ 2,43,779 = 67.8% · 77,901 ÷ 2,43,779 = 32.0%

  3. Turnout of 93.3% was 6.7 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    93.3 − 86.6 = +6.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.7 pp in 2021 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 8.7 = −4.8 pp

  5. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2021.
