KBS, MBC, SBS and the Korean Broadcasters Association are conducting exit polls during Tuesday’s presidential election to predict the outcome.
The broadcasters will announce the results when voting wraps up at 8 p.m.
The exit polls will reflect the results of a survey of around 100-thousand voters who have just cast their ballots at 325 voting stations nationwide, and a phone survey of 15-thousand voters who took part in early voting last week.
The broadcasters were nearly spot on in 2022, when they predicted then-People Power Party candidate Yoon Suk Yeol would win with 48-point-four percent of votes against then-Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung’s 47-point-eight percent.
The final election tally showed that Yoon won with 48-point-56 percent of all votes cast, whereas Lee obtained 47-point-83 percent.
The results of the exit poll will be available on http://world.kbs.co.kr and KBS World Radio News.
