Dating back in the 1940s (in Denver, Colorado, US), exit polls have been largely used since the end of the ‘60s in the USA and Europe as a special opinion poll providing an early indication of the election turnout. Even though in the recent years the results of the elections come up faster than in the past thanks to the technology development, exit polls remain almost the single tool to provide socio-demographic profiles for the overall voters and for each political competitor.

In Romania the first exit polls ever conducted date back in 2000, when CURS provided the most accurate data. CURS has maintained this reputation since, being the Romanian institute with the most exit polls conducted, both in terms of number and estimations accuracy.
