Quick Count is a method for verification of election results by projecting them from a sample of the polling stations. Different than the exit poll, voters are not asked who they voted for, projection of results is based on official results of the polling station. Parallel vote tabulation is similar to quick count, but uses whole data instead of samples.
Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or count:
“A quick caress she gives the rose,
Lilac, geranium all in season . . .
Oh, if she might have seen a reason
For powdering her nose!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Drinking tents were full, glasses began to clink in carriages, hampers to be unpacked, tempting provisions to be set forth, knives and forks to rattle, champagne corks to fly, eyes to brighten that were not dull before, and pickpockets to count their gains during the last heat. The attention so recently strained on one object of interest, was now divided among a hundred; and, look where you would, there was a motley assemblage of feasting, talking, begging, gambling and mummery.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
