The exit polls carried out by Participacion Ciudadana (Citizen Participation) were very close to being duplicates of the official bulletins released by the Central Electoral Board (JCE). PC said that the PLD had carried the election with 54%, while the actual count was 53.83%. Close enough. The exit polls also found that the PRD and Miguel Vargas Maldonado would get 40.1% of the votes, and they received 40.48%. Again, close enough. The PC group obtained these figures in exit polls at 1,000 polling stations, chosen at random, all over the Dominican Republic. Even their figures on the minor candidates were very close to the final results. PC, nevertheless, released the results after the JCE gave the final count, as per the electoral lawrequirement.
