Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 34,212 votes, 3.6× the 9,391-vote margin.

    34,212 ÷ 9,391 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 70.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 29.2% between them.

    (63,653 + 54,262) ÷ 1,67,832 = 70.3% · 48,963 ÷ 1,67,832 = 29.2%

  3. Turnout of 83.2% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    83.2 − 86.6 = −3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.3 pp in 2021 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 13.3 = −7.7 pp

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