Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.6% of votes; the other 24 candidates 10.2% between them.

    (4,26,005 + 2,89,489) ÷ 8,07,940 = 88.6% · 82,683 ÷ 8,07,940 = 10.2%

  2. Turnout of 78.9% matched the state's median seat.

    78.9 − 78.9 = 0.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.9 pp in 2019 to 16.9 pp.

    16.9 − 24.9 = −8.0 pp

  4. Ve Vaithilingam also won in 2019.
