Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 45,458 votes, 6.7× the 6,777-vote margin.

    45,458 ÷ 6,777 = 6.7

  2. The top two polled 73.1% of votes; the other 13 candidates 26.5% between them.

    (73,032 + 66,255) ÷ 1,90,527 = 73.1% · 50,483 ÷ 1,90,527 = 26.5%

  3. Turnout of 88.5% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    88.5 − 86.6 = +1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.1 pp in 2021 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 5.1 = −1.5 pp

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