A reminder: the UK’s election exit poll is a crucial tool in predicting the outcome of the election, providing a snapshot of how many seats each party is likely to win. While historically accurate, it is important to remember that it is ultimately just a poll and not the final result.

The process is highly confidential, with the results closely guarded from the public and the media until the official announcement.
