Booth share spectrum
60,866 contested boothsHow every booth this party contested distributes by share — from wipeout (red) to fortress (green). Most booths sit in the very weak band (1–5%) — 72% of contested booths.
Wipeoutsbooths below 1% share
1388NTK’s long wipeout tail is the defining feature of its booth profile — a solo party against organised alliances will sit below 1% in many polling stations regardless of total reach. Erode East Booth 152 carries the worst single result, 0 votes from 925 valid.
Hot pocketsbooth share far above AC average
2No booth showed NTK’s share jumping 35+ points above its AC average — the share is uniformly shallow, with no constituency producing a hyper-local NTK pocket of the kind that drives other parties’ long tails.
Knife-edgesbooths decided by 2 votes or fewer
1NTK did not record any knife-edge win in TN 2026 — the absence is itself the finding. A solo party at 4.9% statewide share rarely produced 2-vote-or-fewer wins.

Methodology & Sources
Source data: ECI Form 20 (statutory booth-level result statements) for all 234 Tamil Nadu Assembly Constituencies, 2026. Per-AC files committed at data/ac-drilldown/.
Booth-size threshold: only polling stations with at least 200 valid votes are included in any list. This excludes micro-booths (typically auxiliary stations with <100 voters) where a 100% share is statistically trivial.
Extremes-only framing: averages, by-district rollups, and median statistics are deliberately omitted. Each list is gated by a hard threshold — fortresses (≥80% share), wipeouts (<1% share), hot/cold pockets (booth share ±35 percentage points from AC average), knife-edges (margin ≤2 votes).
Alliance composition: TN 2026 alliances are hand-curated in data/ac-insights/context/alliances.json. SPA (DMK + INC + VCK + CPI + CPI(M) + IUML + MDMK + DMDK) reflects the INC-led UPA / INDIA bloc at state level. NTDA (AIADMK + PMK + BJP + AMMK) reflects the BJP-led NDA. TVK and NTK contested alone, outside both national blocs.
Demographic tags: only two are used — minority_muslim_area and minority_christian_area — applied to a small hand-curated list of widely-known localities (10 Muslim-area locality keywords; 4 ACs in the Kanyakumari Christian belt). Tags describe locality context, not voter intent. Caste demographics, population numbers, and Census citations are deliberately not used; readers can infer further context from booth names, AC names, and district names. SC-reserved seats are already labelled in the AC name itself.
