Statement of the Consortium “NationalExitPoll 2007” about the Situation with Voters’ Polls at the Exits from Polling Stations The
Consortium “National Exit Poll 2007” callsonorganizers of other
exitpolls which
will be held
in Ukraine to
adhere to the
ethical code of
the international professional public opinion surveyors,
such as WAPOR/AAPOR and ESOMAR,
and their recommendations on holding
of exitpolls
and electoral surveys and
to ensure maximum transparency of such
process.
During the recent years the practice have spread in Ukraine to use public opinion polls as an instrument of shady political technologies: to wangle ratings, replicate materials of pseudo-surveys in order to manipulate voters’ opinion and support vicious and dirty intentions of state-mongers. Such practice hinders democratic development of Ukraine, it should be put an end to and the Ukrainian and international public should assess it at its true worth. The
primary goal of the National Exit Poll 2007 is to support fair
election in Ukraine, control over fair counting of votes and,
correspondingly, implement democratic procedures and practices in
the Ukrainian society and in our part of Europe as a
whole.
