Decisive constitutional ballot; preliminary party meetings and unsuccessful earlier ballots are not separate elections. Published percentages may use participating members rather than valid candidate votes; no popular turnout is inferred. Candidate shares are calculated from the transcribed valid votes. Other candidates combine the remaining valid votes; they do not include blank or invalid ballots.
