Against Tamil Nadu's previous Vidhan Sabha election (2016), matched constituency-for-constituency

Retained122 (52%)

New seat2 (1%)

122 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 110 changed hands. 2 did not exist at the previous election.

India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
