The total number of voters can be found by adding up the number of votes in each column. There are 10 votes for the first choice, 4 votes for the second choice, 8 votes for the third choice, 6 votes for the fourth choice, 2 votes for the fifth choice, and 1 vote for the sixth choice.
Adding these up:
10 + 4 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 31
However, we need to divide by the number of choices (6) to get the total number of voters:
31/6 = 5.16
We should round down since we can't have a fraction of a voter:
Total number of voters = 5
