Parallel Counts
A parallel count (often called a parallel vote tabulation (PVT) or quick count) is an independent method of gauging election results by constructing the vote count using data collected directly from polling stations. For instance, private actors (e.g., media organizations) may report preliminary results based on official counts as they are released by electoral authorities, sometimes before the full official results are published.
