Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AMMK polled 44,521 votes, 2.3× the 19,321-vote margin.

    44,521 ÷ 19,321 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 72.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 27.3% between them.

    (85,656 + 66,335) ÷ 2,11,209 = 72.0% · 57,712 ÷ 2,11,209 = 27.3%

  3. Turnout of 78.9% was 7.7 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    78.9 − 86.6 = −7.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.7 pp in 2021 to 9.2 pp.

    9.2 − 10.7 = −1.5 pp

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