Arithmetic · working shown
  1. Third-placed DMK polled 59,838 votes, 8.3× the 7,194-vote margin.

    59,838 ÷ 7,194 = 8.3
  2. The top two polled 66.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 33.3% between them.

    (69,284 + 62,090) ÷ 1,98,251 = 66.3% · 66,080 ÷ 1,98,251 = 33.3%
  3. Turnout of 92.9% was 6.3 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    92.9 − 86.6 = +6.3
  4. The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 2021 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 1.9 = +1.7 pp
  5. AIADMK held the seat it won in 2021.
