The margin of victory shall be calculated as follows based on the margin type.

• For percentage points: the vote percentage received by Brad Lander minus the vote percentage received by the candidate/party/option that finishes immediately behind Brad Lander if Brad Lander wins, or the candidate/party that finishes first if Brad Lander loses.
• For raw votes: the total votes received by Brad Lander minus the total votes received by the candidate/party/option that finishes immediately behind Brad Lander if Brad Lander wins, or the candidate/party/option that finishes first if Brad Lander loses.
• For electoral votes: the electoral votes received by Brad Lander minus the electoral votes received by the candidate/party/option with the second-most electoral votes if Brad Lander wins, or the electoral votes received by Brad Lander minus the electoral votes received by the candidate/party/option with the most electoral votes if Brad Lander does not.

Each margin range is inclusive of its lower bound and exclusive of its upper bound. No rounding shall be applied to the calculated margin. For example, for consecutive ranges of 5-6% and 6-7%, a margin of 5.99999% resolves within the 5-6% range, while a margin of exactly 6% resolves within the 6-7% range. If Brad Lander runs under multiple parties or is listed multiple times, votes attributable to the same underlying natural Brad Lander will be summed.

If Brad Lander wins the election, the margin will be positive. If Brad Lander loses the election, the margin will be negative. If Brad Lander ties for first place, the margin shall be 0. For uncontested races where Brad Lander is the only candidate, the margin shall be 100 percentage points or the total number of votes cast (for raw votes).
