Election forecasting is the process of predicting the outcome of an election using various data sources and analytical methods. Analysts consider factors such as polling data, historical voting patterns, and demographic information to estimate how different groups of voters may behave. These forecasts can help political parties, candidates, and the public understand potential election results. While forecasts can provide insights, they are not always accurate due to unforeseen events or changes in voter sentiment, making it essential to interpret them with caution.
