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

Hint: A total number of voters is the sum of the numbers of votes that were cast, the numbers of votes that were invalid and the total number of people who did not vote.
In this question the numbers of votes that were casted, the numbers of votes that were invalid and the numbers of people who did not vote are given so to find the numbers of votes registered we will just add all the given numbers of votes.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Let the three candidates in the election be A, B and C
Now it is given that the
Candidate A in the election received a total of \[687905\;votes\]
Candidate B in the election received a total of \[495086\;votes\]
Candidate C in the election received a total of \[93756\;votes\]
So the total numbers of votes that the candidates received will be
 \[ = 687905 + 495086 + 93756 = 1276747\]
Now it is given that a total of \[13849\;votes\] casted in the election were invalid.
It is also given that a total number of \[25467\] persons did not turn up on the day of the election.
Hence we can say the total numbers registered votes in the election
 \[ = 1276747 + 13849 + 25467 = 1316063\]
So, the correct answer is “1316063”.

Note: In an election a person whose is above 18 has the right to vote and they are given the voter card and the voters have the right to vote as per their chose but in some cases their votes are not counted due to faults and some candidate does no turn up for voting so we can say the total number of registered vote is the number of person who are valid to vote.
