Am not an expert but not all constituencies will have the same numbe of voters so less might win more in one than the other.

Also if there are 8 candidates in one costituency but only 5 in another then less votes might secure the seat in the 8 candidate constituency.

Dunno if this is totally right - but just spent the last 18 hours immersed in this stuff lol

So each seat is a constituency. When you vote, you vote for you constituency's seat.

Each constituency's votes are separate to one another.

So there could be an increase in votes for a party in a constituency however if they don't have the highest amount they won't win.

If two parties have the same amount of votes, they draw straws.

Once a seat is won it gets added to their tally. I think they need to get to 326 to win parliament

Exit polls are people being asked how they vote as they leave a polling station. Something like 140 polling stations? They then use computer models and extrapolate it across the UK.

It's just a complicated sample. It's normally wrong as people can lie. It's just the most accurate opinion poll

Not sure re this but:

I assume this is based on a poll of people that exit the poll and are asked for whom they voted.

Looks like NI electorate might have an influence - that will test them - might have to make a decision lol

There is a one like that. The forecast is Con 314 lab 266

But it's not like football. Those seats are safe seats, so they were always going to go that way. The marginal seats are the important ones

For an exit poll, voters in 140 different polling stations are asked to take part in another ballot, essentially do the same thing again. I think the sample of voters that take part in the exit poll is in excess of 30,000.
