During a national election, the eligible voting population (citizens aged 18 and over) is divided into three age groups:

- 18-35 years: $8{,}000{,}000$ citizens, registration rate $90\%$, turnout among registered voters $55\%$;
- 36-60 years: $7{,}000{,}000$ citizens, registration rate $80\%$, turnout $65\%$;
- 60 years and above: $5{,}000{,}000$ citizens, registration rate $70\%$, turnout $75\%$.

The government set a target of $12{,}000{,}000$ votes. Calculate the total number of votes actually cast and state whether the target was met. If the target was not met, indicate the shortfall (in millions, to two decimal places).
