What are exit polls? Know more here
Exit polls are a useful tool for gauging voter sentiment following the exercise of their right to vote. One reliable method of predicting the outcome of the election or the final result is to use the election exit polls. Information from voters in various constituencies and areas has been gathered outside polling booths for the exit polls. Opinion polls or surveys are also conducted by various media outlets before to elections.
Opinion surveys are conducted prior to voting, while exit surveys are conducted afterwards. Post-election surveys, often known as exit polls, are used to learn more about the intentions of voters. Prior to the actual counting day, the primary goal of these exit surveys is to ascertain voter preferences. Based on the responses from voters, each of these organisations subsequently releases these exit polls.
What is the process to conduct exit polls?
The majority of media organisations use random sample techniques while conducting exit surveys. Nonetheless, some organisations also choose to ascertain the conclusion through systematic sampling. They ask voters from various age groups, genders, castes, and geographical areas who they supported.
