If the same votes from the RIK report are divided by the number of valid ballots, the result is about 72.85 and 24.93 percent.
When RIK published data from 92 processed stations on October 28, N1 reported that the Student List had 57,668 votes, or 72.71 percent, and the United Serbia list 24.69 percent. The combined report adds the votes from the last, 93rd station.

According to that breakdown, the Student List passed 95 percent in Dublin, Oslo, Lisbon, New York, Los Angeles, London, The Hague and Zagreb, as well as at one station in Madrid, and its best result, 97.7 percent, came in California.
The United Serbia list finished first at every polling station in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 55.5 percent in Trebinje to 93.85 percent in Branjevo.
