Exit Poll 2009 - Lok Sabha Election

Exit Poll 2009 is allowed or not? As Exit Polls can affect or influence voters most political parties are against Exit Poll 2009. The upcomming election is Lok Sabha Election 2009.

Lok Sabha Election 2009 will start on April 16. So its better to know Election Result after counting of votes than conducting Opinion Poll. Before that some media may conduct Exit Polls. But this cannot cover openion of all people.

More TV channels and News papers are intrested in this kind of polls. They cannot wait till polling ends. But if some TV channel announces the Exit Poll as one party will win, then people will get influenced in that news and will vote for that party. This is not fair.

Polling is a process by whole people of a country. It cannot be desided by just conducting a small survey and considering a small number of people.

LokSabha Election 2009 will be conducted in 5 phases. Counting of Polls will be on 16 May 09.

Hope there will be no Exit Poll 2009 for Lok Sabha Election 2009.

Thank You.
