What is the magic number to form government in state assembly
In any Assembly election, the majority mark is the minimum number of seats a party or alliance needs to win in order to form the government. It is the decisive threshold that determines who gets to take power after all votes are counted.
Tamil Nadu Assembly has a total of 234 seats. To form a government, a party or coalition must secure at least 118 seats, which is considered the majority mark.
If a party or alliance crosses this number, it is in a position to stake claim to form the government. If no single group reaches the mark, post-poll alliances or support from other parties can come into play to reach the required majority.
