Historical runners-up
Reviewed event records only. Party affiliation is recorded at the election; older versions, NOTA and withdrawn nominations are excluded from candidate history.
Tamil Nadu · state / UT archive samples
These are state or Union Territory records. This district has no source-checked constituency overlay, so these records are not mapped to the district.
Historical source positions and elected flags
This table includes explicit elected flags or supplied positions for supported single-seat records. Source positions are historical evidence, not independently reviewed declarations or current membership. Missing ranks are not calculated from votes.
Assembly elections, parliamentary totals and parliamentary assembly-segment vote tables are different record types. Do not add them together.
