For percentage points: the vote percentage received by Kat Abughazaleh minus the vote percentage received by the candidate/party/option that finishes immediately behind Kat Abughazaleh if Kat Abughazaleh wins, or the candidate/party that finishes first if Kat Abughazaleh loses.

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.
