The sample shows that 386 out of 802 voters plan to vote, which is approximately 48.13% of the sample. Assuming this percentage applies to the entire population, about 51.87% (100% - 48.13%) of the 13,417 eligible voters might not vote. Therefore, 0.5187 * 13,417 ≈ 6959 eligible voters in the town will not vote in the next mayoral election.
