Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 70,346 votes, 5.3× the 13,278-vote margin.

    70,346 ÷ 13,278 = 5.3

  2. The top two polled 66.8% of votes; the other 13 candidates 32.7% between them.

    (87,802 + 74,524) ÷ 2,42,897 = 66.8% · 79,457 ÷ 2,42,897 = 32.7%

  3. Turnout of 89.9% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.9 − 86.6 = +3.3

  4. The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 2021 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 5.2 = +0.3 pp

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