Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 42,610 votes, 35× the 1,208-vote margin.

    42,610 ÷ 1,208 = 35.3

  2. The top two polled 66.5% of votes; the other 12 candidates 33.1% between them.

    (69,971 + 68,763) ÷ 2,08,643 = 66.5% · 69,063 ÷ 2,08,643 = 33.1%

  3. Turnout of 80.1% was 6.5 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    80.1 − 86.6 = −6.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.0 pp in 2021 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 7.0 = −6.4 pp

  5. Tamilarasi.A, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
