The British Polling Council is holding an open event on 6th May where we will be exploring the lessons learned from the recent UK general election and its aftermath.
Practitioners from across the polling sector will be sharing the latest findings of their post-election analysis. Our speakers will reflect on the performance of the polls and the role polling can play in society today. Along the way, we’ll be reviewing the mood and behaviours of the electorate and setting this in historical and international context.
We’ll also be considering best practice when it comes to communication of opinion poll findings to key stakeholders and to the public at large.
