Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 53,110 votes, 7.0× the 7,589-vote margin.

    53,110 ÷ 7,589 = 7.0

  2. The top two polled 68.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 31.6% between them.

    (76,695 + 69,106) ÷ 2,13,965 = 68.1% · 67,535 ÷ 2,13,965 = 31.6%

  3. Turnout of 89.6% was 3.0 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.6 − 86.6 = +3.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.9 pp in 2021 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 8.9 = −5.3 pp

  5. M.R.K.Panneerselvam also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
