    2955

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio of yes votes to no votes is 3:2.

    The total ratio is:

    3 + 2 = 5

    Let the total number of votes be x.

    The number of yes votes was 1773. This means that:

    3/5 * x = 1773

    3x = 1773 * 5

    x = (1773 * 5) / 3

    x = 2955 votes.

    There were 2955 votes in total.
