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:
“Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.”
—Max Beerbohm (1872–1956)
“All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us.... This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.”
—Roger Bacon (c. 1214–c. 1294)
