Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 41,586 votes, 4.3× the 9,781-vote margin.

    41,586 ÷ 9,781 = 4.3

  2. The top two polled 68.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.7% between them.

    (56,305 + 46,524) ÷ 1,51,326 = 68.0% · 48,018 ÷ 1,51,326 = 31.7%

  3. Turnout of 86.4% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    86.4 − 86.6 = −0.2

  4. The margin widened from 5.1 pp in 2021 to 6.5 pp.

    6.5 − 5.1 = +1.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: VCK in 2021, DMK in 2026.
