Polls that collect voting intentions are undertaken by various organisations in the UK, as well as by newspapers and TV programmes to provide insight and analysis for both the general public and other organisations to gauge the likely outcome of an election.

Surveys are conducted in several different ways depending on the organisation, including by telephone, email and online question and answer sessions. There is no general minimum sample size for a poll, however the established rule of thumb is for at least one thousand completed questionnaires to be submitted and analysed.
