Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 59,465 votes, 33× the 1,805-vote margin.

    59,465 ÷ 1,805 = 32.9

  2. The top two polled 57.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 41.8% between them.

    (65,743 + 63,938) ÷ 2,24,048 = 57.9% · 93,675 ÷ 2,24,048 = 41.8%

  3. Turnout of 83.9% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    83.9 − 86.6 = −2.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.5 pp in 2021 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 3.5 = −2.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIADMK in 2021, TVK in 2026.
