In 2016 the exit polls were wrong about the Tamil Nadu elections.

Only C-Voter's correctly predicted that the AIADMK would win 139 seats and the DMK-Congress would win 78.

The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) won 130 seats, which is more than the exit polls suggested in 2016. The C-Voter exit poll was the only survey which gives a full majority to incumbent chief minister J Jayalalithaa.
