Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 59,170 votes, 3.8× the 15,557-vote margin.

    59,170 ÷ 15,557 = 3.8

  2. The top two polled 68.9% of votes; the other 17 candidates 30.9% between them.

    (87,237 + 71,680) ÷ 2,30,570 = 68.9% · 71,169 ÷ 2,30,570 = 30.9%

  3. Turnout of 85.8% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    85.8 − 86.6 = −0.8

  4. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 2021 to 6.8 pp.

    6.8 − 2.9 = +3.9 pp

  5. Sivasankar. S.S also won in 2021.
