Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.0% of votes; the other 21 candidates 19.5% between them.

    (1,33,339 + 74,558) ÷ 2,59,986 = 80.0% · 50,599 ÷ 2,59,986 = 19.5%

  2. Turnout of 76.7% was 9.9 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    76.7 − 86.6 = −9.9

  3. The margin widened from 17.7 pp in 2021 to 22.6 pp.

    22.6 − 17.7 = +4.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2021, TVK in 2026.
