Sample Size
The results of this exit opinion poll are based upon a representative randomly selected sample of 3,016 eligible voters in the elections of 24th May 2019.
Accuracy
In a truly random and representative sample, the margin for error at 95% confidence for the total sample of 3,016 should be a minimum of + or – 2%.
However, the approach to opinion and exit polling does not provide for a 100% random sample. All polls are subject to a wide range of potential sources of error, due to issues such as refusal levels and location choice. As such the margin for error could be somewhat higher than this, at more like + or – 3%.
