Election results

In the following tables, the "primary vote" refers to first-preference votes cast. The "final vote" refers to the final tally after votes for low-polling candidates have been progressively redistributed to other candidates according to pre-arranged electoral agreements (see "electoral fusion"), which may be customized by the voters (see "instant run-off voting").

In the 1999 election, Ponipate Lesavua won with more than 50 percent of the primary vote; therefore, there was no redistribution of preferences.
