What is an Exit Poll?
The exit poll is a way of predicting what may happen in a general election, revealed after voting has concluded but before results are counted.
Exit polls take place at around 144 polling stations across the UK and the information then is used to predict the result of the election.
It involves asking tens of thousands to fill in a private ballot after they voted to get an indication of how they voted in the actual election.
Participating polling stations are usually chosen because they are considered to be demographically representative of the UK as a whole, with a mixture of rural and urban seats selected, and a number of marginal seats also chosen.
