Exit Polls?
Maybe way to Gringo, but it stirs the imagination and comforts the soul if your candidate is leading.

------that IS a good question you pose, and I do not know the answer----------I mis-read your post, and thought you knew 
I wonder when we can expect to get an idea of who is ahead? This could be the most interesting (and scary?)result in years, es verdad?

I don't think exit polls are allowed, at least nothing can be broadcast till after all the polls close.

Just went to the store and the voting places are very crowded. Had been watching coverage on the tv and the words "muy tranquilo" were used over and
over again in various locations around Mexico.
After the polls close there will be coverage and possibly exit polls but I think that it is illegal to announce anything about the results until they
close
I read somewhere that they expect 60% of the population to vote. What is it in the states....like 30%?

60% is great, by normal standards, but lets not run the USA down THAT much. 30% ????? that can't be (can it??)

National Average
% of voting age population (VAP) voting in last midterm election (1998) = 36.4% % of voting age population (VAP) voting in last presidential election
(2000) = 51.3%
I stand corrected
Couldnt find anything on 2004

From Reuters at 6:05pm Pacific time;
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's presidential election is too close to call with the main candidates locked in a tie, exit polls said on Sunday.
The extremely close vote raised fears of a political crisis if either or both of the candidates challenge the results and call street protests.
Exit polls showed the result was too close to call. Pre-election poll leaders showed Felipe Calderon of the ruling party and Andres Manuel Lopez
Obrador, the left-wing former mayor of Mexico City, in a virtual tie.
The Federal Electoral Institute was expected to announce official results at around 11 p.m. If it is unable to call a winner, Mexico could face days
or weeks of legal wrangling and protests similar to the fight that followed the U.S. presidential election in 2000.
That would spook Mexico's financial markets, which are already nervous about Lopez Obrador's economic policies.
He campaigned on promises to end two decades of free-market reforms and pull millions out of poverty with welfare benefits and new jobs in ambitious
infrastructure projects.
"Lopez Obrador is the only one who can bring a new Mexican revolution where the poor are the ones who win," said Amalia Rodriguez, a 19-year-old
student in Mexico City.
Lopez Obrador was the red-hot favorite for most of the campaign but Calderon closed the gap with aggressive TV ads painting his rival as a danger to
Mexico's economic stability and linking him to Venezuela's anti-U.S. firebrand President Hugo Chavez. Continued...

From another forum I watch
For up-to-date information on the election results, go to the IFE
(Federal Electoral Institute) website:
http://www.ife.org.mx/prep2006/
Click on one of the icons and you will see the actual vote count. As
of 9:41 AM, Mazatl?n time, with 97% of the votes counted, Calder?n has
a .97% (less than 1%!) lead over L?pez Obrador.
