Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,04,690 votes, 3.6× the 29,112-vote margin.

    1,04,690 ÷ 29,112 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 78.1% of votes; the other 38 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (4,62,036 + 4,32,924) ÷ 11,46,303 = 78.1% · 2,38,359 ÷ 11,46,303 = 20.8%

  3. Turnout of 78.9% was 7.9 pp above the state's median seat (71.0%).

    78.9 − 71.0 = +7.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 23.4 pp in 2019 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 23.4 = −20.9 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2019.
