The dotted line represents the number of votes that guarantees victory (25.6%).

At this point, the number of remaining candidates equals the number of remaining seats, so the remaining candidates are declared elected.
In the end, 92.2% of all cast ballots counted toward a winner. This compares to 58.6% if only the first-round votes were used. You should be able to see that the winners have a more equal mandate in the final round than in the first round.
