Each margin range is inclusive of its lower bound and exclusive of its upper bound. No rounding shall be applied to the calculated margin.

If Abelardo de la Espriella ties for first place, the margin shall be 0. For uncontested races where Abelardo de la Espriella is the only candidate, the margin shall be 100 percentage points or the total number of votes cast (for raw votes).
