Here’s how exit polling works, where they are conducted and how NBC News will be using the exit poll results on election night and the days after.
Since 2003, Edison Research, a firm that specializes in collecting election data, has conducted exit polls on behalf of the National Election Pool.
NBC News independently analyzes and reports on the exit poll results.
This year, NBC News will have coverage of state exit polls in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.
The NBC News Decision Desk uses some exit poll data to help project election results.
