Our Exit Polls Compared to the Actual Election Results: How did we Do?
On March 21, 2018, elections in 335 municipalities in the Netherlands were held as well as a national consultative referendum on the Intelligence and Security Services Act. Ipsos conducted exit polls in six municipalities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Enschede, Weert and Emmen) and a nationwide exit poll for the referendum vote. Based on our exit polls, we gave an indication of the election results and turnout, which was subsequently broadcast by the NOS on national television.
