Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 63,343 votes, 6.6× the 9,554-vote margin.

    63,343 ÷ 9,554 = 6.6

  2. The top two polled 64.0% of votes; the other 16 candidates 35.5% between them.

    (74,324 + 64,770) ÷ 2,17,329 = 64.0% · 77,207 ÷ 2,17,329 = 35.5%

  3. Turnout of 84.3% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    84.3 − 86.6 = −2.3

  4. The margin widened from 4.1 pp in 2021 to 4.4 pp.

    4.4 − 4.1 = +0.3 pp

  5. DMK held the seat it won in 2021.
