The following are the results of an exit poll on selected bqllot questions conducted by seniors at Harwich High School as part of an American Government Class project.  The poll was conducted between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and so may vary with the final results due to demographic differences between daytime and evening voters.  Also, it is anticipated that some respondents will falsely report positive votes on overrides – especially those related to the schools – when asked by a student.  Finally, there may be differences in voting tendencies between those who are willing to answer an exit poll and those who decline to do so.   The results are based on 174 respondents.
