The country’s law prohibits conducting public opinion polls on election day on the premises or at polling stations. The results of public opinion polls, forecasts of election results and other election-related research cannot be published in the media within five days before and on election day.
The organizations usually announce their results immediately after the closure of polling stations across the country.
