What are exit polls?
The exit polls are a prediction about the results of elections which are made after intense ground surveys and people-to-people deliberations. The exit polls are crucial to understand the mood of the voters after they have used their voting rights. The election exit polls are one of the credible ways to predict the election outcome or the final result. The exit polls have been conducted by gathering information from voters of different regions and constituencies outside the polling booths. Notably, different media organisations conduct opinion polls also before the voting. The key difference between opinion and exit polls is that exit polls are post-vote polls and the opinion polls are pre-vote polls. Exit polls or post-poll surveys are conducted in order to understand the intention of the voters from the voters. All these organisations then publish these exit polls based on the replies of voters.
What is the process to conduct exit polls
Mostly the exit polls are conducted through the random sampling method. However, some organisations also pick systematic sampling, involving the categorical surveys to determine the final outcome. They ask people from different castes, age groups, genders and regions about whom they voted for.
