Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMDK polled 46,267 votes, 1.5× the 30,041-vote margin.

    46,267 ÷ 30,041 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 71.2% of votes; the other 19 candidates 28.7% between them.

    (82,353 + 52,312) ÷ 1,89,221 = 71.2% · 54,257 ÷ 1,89,221 = 28.7%

  3. Turnout of 90.4% was 3.8 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    90.4 − 86.6 = +3.8

  4. The margin widened from 1.3 pp in 2021 to 15.9 pp.

    15.9 − 1.3 = +14.6 pp

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