- The election had an 85% voter turnout, meaning 85% of the total registered voters cast their votes.

- Of these votes, 4% were declared invalid. So, 96% of the votes cast were valid.

- One candidate received 6,936 votes, which is 85% of the valid votes.

- To find the total number of voters, let's denote the total number as X.

- Based on calculations:

1. 0.85X = total votes cast

2. 0.96 * 0.85X = valid votes

3. 0.85 * (0.96 * 0.85X) = 6,936 (votes this candidate received)

Solving, X = 10,800.

- Correct option: Option 2: 10,800
