1. the question is....what does that mean? exit polls could be off in either direction.

2. They don't use electronic voting so they should be accurate

3. exit polls require certain assumptions that could be altered by turnout

the vote will be accurate but the exit poll may not necessarily be so.

4. Great turnout even for a parliamentary system

In parliamentary systems, there is every reason to cast a vote, because every single vote counts. Even if everyone else in your city/district/state votes for a shit sandwich party, your single vote for a sane party is still just as valueable as anywhere else in the country. 82% is great though!

5. I'm hoping it works like here in the US...

where large turnout tends to favor progressives and liberals. It's a small country, but the world needs to hand Putin and RW ideologues a loss.
