Abac Poll of Assumption University will conduct exit polls in all 375 constituencies throughout the country on July 3, election day.

In Chiang Mai, the exit poll will be jointly conducted by Abac and Payap University.

At each polliing unit, the pollsters will randomly question 100 people after they have cast their votes.  The intention is to get 25,000 samples.  The exit poll results will be reported immediately after  polling closes at 3pm, he said.
A similar exit poll will also be conducted in other constituencies throughout the country.  The margin of error is set to be not over 3 per cent, Mr Noppadol said.
