Election surveys, including pre-poll and exit polls, are research methods used to gather data and insights on voter preferences, candidate performance, and electoral outcomes. Pre-poll surveys are conducted before the election to gauge public opinion, predict voting patterns, and assess the popularity of political parties and candidates. Exit polls, on the other hand, are conducted on election day as voters leave polling stations to gather real-time data on voting behavior and trends. Both types of surveys provide valuable information for political analysis, campaign strategy, and understanding the electoral landscape.
