National Exit Poll-2014 Data As Of 6 PM

On May 25, 2014, the day of elections of the President of Ukraine, the National Exit Poll-2014 Consortium, which is made up of the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation (DIF), the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) and the Oleksandr Razumkov Economic and Political Studies Center (Razumkov Centre), has conducted the National Exit Poll-2014.

DIF is responsible for financial and media management of the exit poll. KIIS is responsible for scientific management of the project, development of the sample, and coordination of the polling. The polling of voters at the exits of polling stations has been conducted by the KIIS and Razumkov Center.

Constituents who voted at polling districts (except for special polling districts) make up total population of exit poll. Theoretically,  the sample  is representative for the whole Ukraine, for all the   voting stations, where  elections  were conducted.  Because of complication of our work in Donetsk and Lugansk  regions, we are not   fully confident in  representativeness of  the data from this regions. That is why we provide results  both on  Ukraine in general and on Ukraine without  results from Donetsk and Lugansk regions. 15 734 of respondents were polled at 351 polling stations. The methodology of “secret ballot” was used. 

Statistical sample error  doesn’t exceed 3.5% for the leaders (in terms of received votes) and is within the limits of 0.5-1% for other candidates.
