Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of votes received by the candidate who lose be v.

Then, the number of votes received by the candidate who wins will be (v+6970).

According to the given information, we have

55%* (v+v+6970)=(v+6970)

=55/100 (2v+6970)=v+6970

=11/20(2v+6970)=v+6970

=11(2v+6970)=20(2v+6970)

=22v+76670=20v+139400

=2v=62730

=v=31365

Therefore, the total number of votes is

2v+6970=2*31365+6970=627730+6970=69700

Thus, the total number of votes is 69700.
