Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 69,763 votes, 2.0× the 35,641-vote margin.

    69,763 ÷ 35,641 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 73.6% of votes; the other 13 candidates 25.9% between them.

    (1,37,136 + 1,01,495) ÷ 3,24,010 = 73.6% · 83,984 ÷ 3,24,010 = 25.9%

  3. Turnout of 86.5% was 0.1 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    86.5 − 86.6 = −0.1

  4. The margin widened from 9.8 pp in 2021 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 9.8 = +1.2 pp

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