Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 23.2% between them.

    (5,86,044 + 3,64,571) ÷ 12,59,578 = 75.5% · 2,91,998 ÷ 12,59,578 = 23.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.0% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (71.0%).

    72.0 − 71.0 = +1.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 23.2 pp in 2019 to 17.6 pp.

    17.6 − 23.2 = −5.6 pp

  4. Selvam. G also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
