The dotted line represents the number of votes that guarantees victory (20.6%).

In the first round, the first choices on each ballot are tallied.
Neil Smith (NDP) has enough votes to guarantee victory and is declared a winner.

This is actually done by counting a fraction of the ballots most recently counted for the winning candidate.
