The official count matched 99.997% of the preliminary tally, leaving a margin of 0.96 points and 250,830 votes, as reported by Al Jazeera on 22 June 2026.
The margin market resolves on the National Electoral Council's official declaration of results.
In every close runoff we found, the winner took office on time. We looked for Latin American presidential runoffs since 1994 that were won by a very small margin, and found four. Whatever the losing side claimed, the declared winner took office on the date set by the constitution. One of the four, Mexico in 2006, was a single round of voting rather than a runoff.
