National Election Pool

The National Election Pool (NEP) is a coalition of major news organizations that jointly conduct and analyze exit polls during U.S. elections. It pools resources and expertise from outlets like ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC to gather data on how voters participated and whom they chose. This collaboration helps produce consistent, comprehensive election coverage and accurate early results. By working together, these organizations can better understand voting patterns and provide the public with timely information, while maintaining journalistic integrity and methodological standards.
