Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed PMK polled 2,36,571 votes, 1.1× the 2,08,766-vote margin.
2,36,571 ÷ 2,08,766 = 1.1
The top two polled 69.4% of votes; the other 27 candidates 29.8% between them.
(5,00,099 + 2,91,333) ÷ 11,40,261 = 69.4% · 3,39,641 ÷ 11,40,261 = 29.8%
Turnout of 76.2% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (71.0%).
76.2 − 71.0 = +5.2
The margin narrowed from 20.2 pp in 2019 to 18.3 pp.
