Quick count is a method for verification of election results by projecting them from a sample of the polling stations. Different from an exit poll, voters are not asked who they voted for, projection of results is based on official results of the polling station. Parallel vote tabulation is another name for quick count.
Use
Elections in Indonesia prominently feature quick count procedures, and they are considered more credible than projections by exit polls, or surveys.[1] Elections in Mexico also feature quick count procedures.[2] Elections in Bolivia have both quick counts and traditional counting procedures.[3]
