Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 57,072 votes, 54× the 1,065-vote margin.

    57,072 ÷ 1,065 = 53.6

  2. The top two polled 66.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 33.5% between them.

    (69,284 + 68,219) ÷ 2,07,723 = 66.2% · 69,504 ÷ 2,07,723 = 33.5%

  3. Turnout of 80.7% was 5.9 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    80.7 − 86.6 = −5.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.3 pp in 2021 to 0.5 pp.

    0.5 − 8.3 = −7.8 pp
