SVT exit poll survey European parliament election 2024

This exit poll survey was carried out in connection with the European parliament election 9 June 2024 by Sveriges Television (SVT) in collaboration with researchers at the Division of Safety Research, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm and the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. The main purpose of VALU 2024 EU was, as for previous exit polls, to provide analytical support for the election night broadcast on Swedish television during the election night, as well as for other post-election analyses.

In VALU - Swedish exit poll surveys - voters leaving polling stations are asked by public service broadcaster Sveriges Television to fill in a questionnaire and put it anonymously in a sealed box. After collecting and processing the responses, Sveriges Television can present an election forecast and an analysis of the reasons underlying the outcome of the election in its election night broadcast. The surveys are referred to as VALU, an abbreviation for vallokalsundersökning, Swedish for exit poll survey. The first exit poll survey in Sweden was carried out at the parliamentary election in 1991. Since then, similar studies have been carried out in connection with all parliamentary elections, referendums, and elections to the European Parliament.
