The Madurantakam ballot in numbers

K. Maragatham Kumaravel won Madurantakam for the AIADMK in April 2026 by 7,194 votes, resigned on 25 May 2026 and joined the ruling TVK the same day. The 6 October 2026 ballot lists K. Maragatham Kumaravel as TVK's candidate, No. 4.

48 nominations were filed; 27 candidates are on the ballot: 10 from parties and 17 independents, 6 of them women.

10 of the 27 also stood in the April 2026 election, 4 of them here in Madurantakam.

Declared assets range from ₹3,000 to ₹5.63 crore; 14 of the 27 declare ₹7.18 lakh or less.

4 of the 27 declare pending criminal cases. 'Pending criminal cases' is the number of pending cases the candidate listed. A pending case is not a conviction; no candidate on either ballot declares a conviction.

Every figure links to that candidate's affidavit on the Election Commission's website.

Where this comes from
  • Candidate list, ballot order, party and symbol: the Returning Officer's list of contesting candidates (Form 7A), published by the Chief Electoral Officer, Tamil Nadu — PDF. Tamil names are as printed there; the symbol names are our English rendering of the Tamil.
  • Age, English name and the affidavits: the Election Commission of India's candidate affidavit portal (affidavit.eci.gov.in), fetched 26 September 2026.
  • Figures are the candidate's own, from their sworn affidavit (Form 26) — not their spouse's or dependants'. Assets = movable assets + the current market value of immovable assets. Liabilities = loans and government dues. Figures are as declared; neither the Election Commission nor we verify them.
  • Each affidavit was read twice, independently: once from its summary (Part B) and once from the detailed statement (Part A). We show the totals written in Part A. Where Part A leaves a total as nil while listing items, we add up the items. Where the affidavit gives two different figures, the card says so under 'From the affidavit'.
  • April 2026 votes are shown only where the Election Commission's April and September candidate records show the same person (same relative's name, same house number, age within a year) — never on a name match alone.
