    Explanation

    The winning candidate gets 66 % of the votes cast and the losing candidate gets (100 - 66 = 34%) of the votes casted. Thus , the gap between the two is (66 - 34 = 32%) of the votes cast = 3072 votes . Thus, the total votes cast = 307232×100=9600\frac{{3072}}{{32}} \times 100 = 9600 Since, this is 80 % of the total number of voters on the voting list, Hence, the total number of voters on the voting list = 960080×100=12000.\frac{{9600}}{{80}} \times 100 = 12000.
