Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 46,438 votes, 2.8× the 16,727-vote margin.

    46,438 ÷ 16,727 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 72.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 26.7% between them.

    (81,100 + 64,373) ÷ 1,99,944 = 72.8% · 53,413 ÷ 1,99,944 = 26.7%

  3. Turnout of 89.4% was 2.8 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.4 − 86.6 = +2.8

  4. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 2021 to 8.4 pp.

    8.4 − 0.7 = +7.7 pp

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