Let the total number of votes be x
Then, votes polled = 90% of x
Valid votes = 90% of (90% of x)
∴ 54% of - 46% of = 1620
⇔ 8% of = 1620
⇔ $$\frac{8}{100}$$ × $$\frac{90}{100}$$ × $$\frac{90}{100}$$ × x = 1620
⇔ x = $$\left( {\frac{{1620 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100}}{{8 \times 90 \times 90}}} \right)$$
⇔ x = 25000
