Elections and voting: ballots, counting and winning, sentence 15

An exit poll asks some voters how they voted as they leave, then guesses the result; it is often close to the real result, but not always right.

Who acts: exit poll, polls, result · What happens: ask, vote, leave, guess, be, not be · To what, where: voters, result · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Elections and voting: ballots, counting and winning» of the politics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (exit poll, polls, result), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
