Description

Exit poll surveys (VALU) have been carried out at all parliamentary elections, referendums and European Parliament elections since 1991 by Sveriges Television (SVT) in collaboration with researchers at the Division of Safety Research, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm and the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. The main purpose of VALU is to provide analytical support for the election night broadcast on Swedish television during the election night, as well as for other post-election analyses.

In VALU, voters leaving polling stations are asked by public service broadcaster Sveriges Television to fill in a questionnaire and put it anonymously in a sealed box. After collecting and processing the responses, Sveriges Television can present an election forecast and analysis of the reasons underlying the outcome of the election in its election night broadcast. This survey method has been successfully used in many countries with the purpose of election forecast and analysis.
