I never give them my number and I've never had any of them calling me or door knocking in the evening either.

Thanks elfonashelf DH is still canvassing for the LP. Maybe it's because they didnt tick people off the list he doesnt know who voted and who didnt.

The BBC link that @ Wtfdoipick gave says that the exit polls is actual people at the polling station rather than online.

I was asked today. I didn’t think to check who was asking, assumed it was an official exit poll. It was inside the building. I just had to tap a couple of answers on an ipad.

Nope, pretty safe seat.

I'm pretty sure that the official exit poll is still in person, and the online ones are generally from polling/research companies, but I'm not 100%.

I believe they go to the same places and ask every nth person, and then compare to previous performance in that place, to work out what's likely to have changed.

I was asked today, and declined to say

If it was to avoid disturbing me with canvassing this evening, I don't know why they bother. As no party has bothered at any other point in the campaign, I doubt they'll start now

I've never been asked but have always lived in areas where the standing MP has a large majority.

I didn't think they were done online either, i thought they did them as people left the polling station.

I've had the local party representatives asking for my voting number numerous times but never been at a polling station where they've been doing an exit poll.

No, never anyone here

Grasspigeons · 12/12/2019 19:12

They were only asking people in track suits or workwear like flourescent jackets. Thought it was a bit odd.

AlexaShutUp · 12/12/2019 19:12

No, have never been asked. I live in a con/lab marginal.

I was asked outside a polling station once, but it was a party representative who wanted to know. I simply told them it was none of their business.

tabulahrasa · 12/12/2019 19:15

I’ve never seen anyone exit polling, YouGov never asks me anything either... I’ve never been canvassed and everyone else gets addressed to them leaflets and I don’t.

Dunno who they all think I’m voting for - but they clearly think I’m a definite for something and not worth asking or trying to persuade me, lol

LividLaughLove · 12/12/2019 19:42

I got exit polled today!

Leaving the polling station. I was third in at 7am and they were asking every third person. Tapped two answers on an iPad.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 12/12/2019 19:48

I didn't get asked today.

RedLipstickHighHeels · 12/12/2019 19:50

No

WTF0ver · 12/12/2019 23:32
