Seat change
Against Tamil Nadu's previous Vidhan Sabha election (2021), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained56 (24%)
- Changed hands147 (63%)
- New seat31 (13%)
56 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 147 changed hands. 31 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.
