Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 39,993 votes, 5.2× the 7,696-vote margin.

    39,993 ÷ 7,696 = 5.2

  2. The top two polled 75.3% of votes; the other 19 candidates 24.4% between them.

    (81,179 + 73,483) ÷ 2,05,324 = 75.3% · 49,997 ÷ 2,05,324 = 24.4%

  3. Turnout of 93.0% was 6.4 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    93.0 − 86.6 = +6.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.8 pp in 2021 to 3.8 pp.

    3.8 − 15.8 = −12.0 pp

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