Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 59,149 votes, 5.2× the 11,417-vote margin.

    59,149 ÷ 11,417 = 5.2

  2. The top two polled 65.6% of votes; the other 8 candidates 34.1% between them.

    (71,449 + 60,032) ÷ 2,00,448 = 65.6% · 68,412 ÷ 2,00,448 = 34.1%

  3. Turnout of 82.8% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    82.8 − 86.6 = −3.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.4 pp in 2021 to 5.7 pp.

    5.7 − 6.4 = −0.7 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2021.
