Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AMMK polled 55,121 votes, 6.4× the 8,555-vote margin.

    55,121 ÷ 8,555 = 6.4

  2. The top two polled 68.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.0% between them.

    (80,425 + 71,870) ÷ 2,22,111 = 68.6% · 68,868 ÷ 2,22,111 = 31.0%

  3. Turnout of 85.6% was 1.0 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    85.6 − 86.6 = −1.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 25.5 pp in 2021 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 25.5 = −21.6 pp

  5. Durai. Chandrasekaran also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
