Estimating the final vote shares for Trump and Haley

This chart shows the range of estimates for the leading candidates’ shares of the final vote. As more votes are reported, the ranges should narrow as our statistical model becomes more confident.

How our estimates changed over time

Once a state has counted all its votes, our estimated margin and the reported margin will match. As a rule, when our estimated margin is steady in the presence of new data, our forecast is more trustworthy.

What’s powering our forecast right now?

Our election model makes use of three indicators in creating an estimate of the final result.

Pre-election polls

0%

Our model

7%

Actual results

93%

  • Pre-election polls: At the start of the night, our estimate is based on pre-election polls, results of past elections and demographic data.
  • Our model: As results come in, we compare actual results in places that have mostly completed reporting to our pre-election estimates to create a statistical model for the remaining vote.
  • Actual results: As a county reports more of its vote, those actual results will gradually supersede our previous estimates.

What to expect

Polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern time, and first results are expected soon after. In the 2022 state primaries, the last update of the night was at 3:45 a.m. Eastern time with 99.7 percent of votes reported.

Voters do not register by party, but they could only participate in one party’s primary. The state offered in-person early voting and required an excuse to vote absentee. As of Feb. 28, the day after the early voting period ended, 207,703 voters had already cast Republican ballots.

The state primary, which will include races for state and congressional offices, will be held on Aug. 1.
