The president is elected directly by an absolute majority of valid votes. If no candidate obtains more than half, the two leading candidates contest a separate runoff; each round has its own denominator.
Vote shares are calculated from 403,941 valid candidate votes. 427,198 ballots were cast; 23,257 ballots were outside the valid-vote denominator. Turnout is ballots cast divided by 522,933 registered voters.
All eight candidates are recorded. The CNE final table gives 7,723 blank and 15,534 invalid ballots. Some early reports cited 81.79% turnout; the reconciled final series is 427,198 divided by 522,933 (81.69%). No candidate is marked elected in this round.
Colours are editorial identifiers. No numeric ideology scores or unsupported election-era ideology links have been assigned.
