Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 2,361 votes, 8.2× the 287-vote margin.

    2,361 ÷ 287 = 8.2

  2. The top two polled 76.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 22.4% between them.

    (7,304 + 7,017) ÷ 18,716 = 76.5% · 4,186 ÷ 18,716 = 22.4%

  3. The margin narrowed from 19.5 pp in 2021 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 19.5 = −18.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AINRC in 2021, DMK in 2026.
