Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 57,359 votes, 2.3× the 24,498-vote margin.

    57,359 ÷ 24,498 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 70.4% of votes; the other 13 candidates 29.4% between them.

    (95,219 + 70,721) ÷ 2,35,858 = 70.4% · 69,277 ÷ 2,35,858 = 29.4%

  3. Turnout of 89.5% was 2.9 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.5 − 86.6 = +2.9

  4. The margin widened from 1.4 pp in 2021 to 10.4 pp.

    10.4 − 1.4 = +9.0 pp

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