Fair and accurate reporting on opinion polls necessary during elections
Opinion polls forecasting the results of an election can be expected during elections and citizens will generally learn about these through the media. However, care must be taken in reporting opinion polls so that they do not unfairly influence election outcomes. A group called the Pan African Forum Limited conducted an opinion poll on elections titled. “Zimbabwe Presidential Opinion Poll. This opinion poll was reported by The Herald newspaper on 30 May 2018.”
