Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,68,493 votes, 1.6× the 1,03,554-vote margin.

    1,68,493 ÷ 1,03,554 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 77.7% of votes; the other 12 candidates 21.6% between them.

    (5,05,084 + 4,01,530) ÷ 11,67,071 = 77.7% · 2,51,696 ÷ 11,67,071 = 21.6%

  3. Turnout of 76.8% was 5.8 pp above the state's median seat (71.0%).

    76.8 − 71.0 = +5.8

  4. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 2019 to 8.9 pp.

    8.9 − 0.3 = +8.6 pp

  5. Thirumaavalavan Thol also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
