Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 20.1% between them.

    (6,70,149 + 2,26,328) ÷ 11,49,621 = 78.0% · 2,31,024 ÷ 11,49,621 = 20.1%

  2. Turnout of 71.5% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (71.0%).

    71.5 − 71.0 = +0.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 46.5 pp in 2019 to 38.6 pp.

    38.6 − 46.5 = −7.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2019, CPI(M) in 2024.
