Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 42,567 votes, 6.6× the 6,489-vote margin.

    42,567 ÷ 6,489 = 6.6

  2. The top two polled 62.7% of votes; the other 18 candidates 37.0% between them.

    (64,865 + 58,376) ÷ 1,96,480 = 62.7% · 72,679 ÷ 1,96,480 = 37.0%

  3. Turnout of 82.3% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    82.3 − 86.6 = −4.3

  4. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 2021 to 3.3 pp.

    3.3 − 2.9 = +0.4 pp

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