Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 40,103 votes, 59× the 679-vote margin.

    40,103 ÷ 679 = 59.1

  2. NOTA polled 960 votes, 1.4× the winning margin of 679.

    960 ÷ 679 = 1.4

  3. The top two polled 75.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 24.3% between them.

    (78,650 + 77,971) ÷ 2,08,288 = 75.2% · 50,707 ÷ 2,08,288 = 24.3%

  4. Turnout of 81.5% was 5.1 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    81.5 − 86.6 = −5.1

  5. The margin narrowed from 10.9 pp in 2021 to 0.3 pp.

    0.3 − 10.9 = −10.6 pp

  6. Anbalagan G, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
