Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 68.4% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.1% between them.

    (81,625 + 52,542) ÷ 1,96,117 = 68.4% · 61,071 ÷ 1,96,117 = 31.1%

  2. Turnout of 80.1% was 6.5 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    80.1 − 86.6 = −6.5

  3. The margin widened from 4.8 pp in 2021 to 14.8 pp.

    14.8 − 4.8 = +10.0 pp

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