Provenance & notes

Winner vote count 117,709 per Wikipedia (final). Note: Wikipedia reports vote share as 35.15% and total turnout as 238,838 (70.7% of 338,009 registered electors). These figures are internally inconsistent (117,709 / 238,838 = 49.3%, not 35.15%); Wikipedia likely computes share as proportion of registered electors (117,709 / 338,009 = 34.82% ~ 35.15%), which is non-standard. total_valid_votes left null pending EC portal verification.
