Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 67,256 votes, 37× the 1,821-vote margin.

    67,256 ÷ 1,821 = 36.9

  2. The top two polled 65.1% of votes; the other 77 candidates 34.6% between them.

    (71,542 + 69,721) ÷ 2,16,829 = 65.1% · 75,027 ÷ 2,16,829 = 34.6%

  3. Turnout of 94.0% was 7.4 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    94.0 − 86.6 = +7.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.0 pp in 2021 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 6.0 = −5.2 pp

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