Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 31,016 votes, 1.9× the 16,547-vote margin.

    31,016 ÷ 16,547 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 81.4% of votes; the other 13 candidates 18.2% between them.

    (1,18,777 + 1,02,230) ÷ 2,71,566 = 81.4% · 49,382 ÷ 2,71,566 = 18.2%

  3. Turnout of 80.3% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    80.3 − 86.6 = −6.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.0 pp in 2021 to 6.1 pp.

    6.1 − 21.0 = −14.9 pp

  5. Moorthy P, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
