Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 34,962 votes, 1.5× the 22,833-vote margin.

    34,962 ÷ 22,833 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 71.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 27.8% between them.

    (65,590 + 42,757) ÷ 1,51,241 = 71.6% · 42,023 ÷ 1,51,241 = 27.8%

  3. Turnout of 81.1% was 5.5 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    81.1 − 86.6 = −5.5

  4. The margin widened from 1.4 pp in 2021 to 15.1 pp.

    15.1 − 1.4 = +13.7 pp

  5. Pon.Jayaseelan, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
