Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 45 candidates 8.2% between them.

    (1,20,365 + 66,650) ÷ 2,04,384 = 91.5% · 16,768 ÷ 2,04,384 = 8.2%

  2. Turnout of 90.1% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    90.1 − 86.6 = +3.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 27.6 pp in 2021 to 26.3 pp.

    26.3 − 27.6 = −1.3 pp

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