With a total of 93 seats contested at GE2020, coupled with 2 hours’ delay, we’re in for a long night as we await the results. Thankfully, GE2020 will have a sample count, for those who simply want to know who’s in the lead.
We get sample counts through counting 100 polling slips, and the result is then announced. It’s a relatively good gauge of the way the tide is swinging in a constituency.

Although GE2015 sample counts saw accurate leads, the final percentages were sometimes different.
As such, the sample counts should be used mainly so there’s an official gauge of the results before the final count is in.
