​

Answer 1

$\huge \bf \pink\star \ \{question \}$

• Number of votes received by first candidate = 678509

• Number of votes received by second candidate = 462397

• Number of votes received by third candidate = 97685

• Total number of votes which are valid for counting =

678509 + 462397 + 97685

So, Total number of votes = 1238591

Now

,

• Number of invalid votes = 16489
• Number of votes which did not cast = 45716

Therefore,

• Total number of registered votes = 1238591 + 16489 + 45716=1300796

$\implies \small\{1300796 \}$

is the answer
