The exit poll mechanism the Gallup International Association employed
in the May 6 parliamentary elections in Armenia was not so efficient.
In fact, the exit poll proved to be pressure on people because many
of them were afraid of answering the questions, Boris Navasardyan,
Chairman of the Yerevan Press Club, told journalists on Monday.
According to him, it is too early to apply such technologies in
Armenia.
"TV channels were showing the exit poll results for hours, which
means they attached too great importance to them. That is wrong. I
am grateful to the TV companies that did not show the results,"
Navasardyan said.
The exit poll was conducted at 131 polling stations and involved over
20,000 voters. Forty percent of the respondents refused to answer
the question.
