Question

There were three candidates in an election. They received 687905 votes, 495086 votes and 93756 votes respectively. The number of invalid votes was 13849. If 25467 persons did not vote, find how many votes were registered.

Answer 1

Total number of votes received by the three candidates = 687905 + 495086 + 93756 = 1276747
Number of invalid votes = 13849
Number of persons who did not vote = 25467
∴ Total number of registered voters = 1276747 + 13849 + 25467
= 1316063
