[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 4,763 votes, 5.6× the 850-vote margin.

    4,763 ÷ 850 = 5.6

  2. The top two polled 63.0% of votes; the other 12 candidates 36.1% between them.

    (8,226 + 7,376) ÷ 24,770 = 63.0% · 8,931 ÷ 24,770 = 36.1%

  3. The margin widened from 1.8 pp in 2021 to 3.4 pp.

    3.4 − 1.8 = +1.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2021, DMK in 2026.
