- Two candidates contested an election. One candidate received 64% of the total votes.

- The candidate won by a majority of 434 votes.

- The candidate who got 36% of the votes lost.

- Calculate the vote difference: 64% - 36% = 28% corresponds to 434 votes.

- To find 1%, divide: 434 votes / 28 = 15.5 votes.

- Multiply to find the total: 15.5 votes x 100% = 1550 votes.

- Option 1: 1550 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Option 1: 1550
