Since, winning candidate secured 58% of the votes polled.

Losing candidate secured

= (100 - 58) of the votes polled

= 42% of the votes polled

Difference of voted = 58 - 42

= 16% of the votes polled

We are given :

16% of votes polled = 18,336

16/100 of votes polled = 18,336

Votes polled = 18,336 x (100/16)
