Maharashtra Exit Polls 2024: Soon after the Maharashtra polling ended on Wednesday, pollsters were quick to publish their exit poll results. An analysis of nine exit polls shows Mahayuti is leading the charge with pollsters giving it 118 to 175 seats, while MVA struggles with numbers as low as 69. An election exit poll is a poll of voters taken immediately after they have exited the polling stations. A similar poll conducted before actual voters have voted is called an entrance poll . Pollsters – usually private companies working for newspapers or broadcasters – conduct exit polls to gain an early indication as to how an election has turned out, as in many elections the actual result may take many hours to count. Shiv Sena UBT leader Anand Dubey on Thursday dismissed exit poll predictions suggesting that the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance will retain power in Maharashtra, calling them a "medium of entertainment."
