Exit polls are statistical predictions based on surveys conducted with voters immediately after they have cast their ballots. While they aim to provide insights into voter behaviour and predict election outcomes, their accuracy can vary.
Factors influencing the accuracy of exit polls include the sampling method, the size of the sample, the timing of the survey, and the methodology used to analyze the data. Additionally, unforeseen events, changes in voter behaviour, or errors in data collection can affect the reliability of exit poll results.
While exit polls can offer valuable insights and trends, they are not always perfectly accurate predictors of election outcomes. Variations between exit poll predictions and actual election results can occur, leading to discrepancies.
