In your opinion, “should exit poll be banned” give arguments in support of your answer?

. An exit poll is a sample survey conducted by any organization in order to analyze voting behavior of citizens in an election after they cast their ballots, on the basis of the analysis the exit poll projects the election results.

The Election commission favors a ban on publication of exit poll results on the ground that it tends to undermine the fair nature of elections in the country. Like all opinion polls, exit polls by nature do include a margin of error.

Problems related to exit poll-

1. There are chances that people may be influence by the exit poll.

2. Media affiliated to different political parties tend to influence the voters.

3. The numbers of people selected for exit poll is very small when compared to actual numbers of voters hence the trend can be very misleading.

4. The actual trend can change on the polling day when compared to exit poll day.

So because of the above problems people want a complete ban on the exit poll. But complete ban on the exit poll will affect the freedom of media. So there should be some rules and regulations followed by media, in conducting the exit poll.
