Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 83,654 votes, 17× the 4,790-vote margin.

    83,654 ÷ 4,790 = 17.5

  2. The top two polled 64.4% of votes; the other 13 candidates 35.1% between them.

    (90,531 + 85,741) ÷ 2,73,544 = 64.4% · 95,919 ÷ 2,73,544 = 35.1%

  3. Turnout of 88.5% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    88.5 − 86.6 = +1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.4 pp in 2021 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 13.4 = −11.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2021, TVK in 2026.
