Verified Voters

The Voter Poll by SSRS features respondents that are verified as actual voters either by being interviewed in person right after they have voted, or by being matched to the voter roll. Using a combination of methods, we find voters no matter how they participate, whether early, by mail, or on election day, and ensure they are represented.
