Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 69,344 votes, 4.5× the 15,488-vote margin.

    69,344 ÷ 15,488 = 4.5

  2. The top two polled 67.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 31.7% between them.

    (91,350 + 75,862) ÷ 2,46,317 = 67.9% · 78,027 ÷ 2,46,317 = 31.7%

  3. Turnout of 88.0% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    88.0 − 86.6 = +1.4

  4. The margin widened from 5.1 pp in 2021 to 6.3 pp.

    6.3 − 5.1 = +1.2 pp

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