Despite this victory among emigrants, António José Seguro won the overall vote and became the new President of the Republic.

According to data from the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Internal Administration (SGMAI-AE), cited by the Lusa news agency, Seguro obtained 49.19% of the votes (41,422 votes) from voters residing outside the national territory, in a count that already includes all 107 consulates.

The final results regarding emigration, however, reveal a very low voter turnout, with abstention reaching 95.17%, meaning that only 4.83% of the more than 1.7 million registered voters exercised their right to vote.

Among the votes counted, there were also 1,071 blank votes (1.25%) and 576 invalid votes (0.67%). These figures conclude the 2026 electoral process, confirming a marked division in the preferences of Portuguese emigrants between the two candidates who contested the second round.
