US Oracle Advisory Group hails voter turnout in Azerbaijani elections

A representative of the US-based Oracle Advisory Group organization, Vlada Galan, has said that there has been incredible growth in voter participation in the presidential election in Azerbaijan.

"Tonight, we will announce the results of the exit poll at our 7:30 p.m. (GMT+4) press conference. There has been an incredible increase in voter participation. We observed this in our morning report, indicating higher voter turnout for these elections. I find it incredibly exciting for Azerbaijan to have such high voter participation, and I believe it is partly due to the wonderful support you have because of the victory in Karabakh," she said on February 7, according to secki-2024.az.

According to the Oracle Advisory Group rep, today, the organization set up 20 stations in its data call centre. Once this data is received from the field, it is uploaded and sent to the quality control check team, which is currently based in Baku, she explained.

"For this particular election, we conducted a pre-election survey, the results of which were announced last Friday in Karabakh. Additionally, today, we are conducting an exit poll, aiming to interview over 60,000 voters by the end of the day before the polls close," she noted.

For this exit poll, the Oracle Advisory Group covered 40 constituencies, encompassing over 500 polling locations.

"This included six constituencies in the Karabakh region, which is a significant historical milestone. It marks the first time these constituencies have been surveyed, and we are the first Western company to gain access to the region for conducting such surveys. We have 30 supervisors in the field overseeing more than 1,000 interviewers," she added.

Three local pro-government organisations - Citizens' Labour Rights Protection League, the Opinion Monitoring Centre and the Social Research Centre LLC - are conducting exit polls. Citizens' Labour Rights Protection League is carrying out exit polls together with the US Oracle Advisory Group.

The League for the Citizens' Labor Rights Protection League, together with the American organization Oracle Advisory Group, conducts exit-poll at 500 polling stations in 40 electoral districts, Public Opinion Monitoring Unit - at 200 polling stations in 33 electoral districts, LLC Center for Sociological Research - at 125 polling stations in 25 electoral districts.

It should be remembered that 6 million 524,203 citizens have the right to vote in the presidential election in Azerbaijan.
