Yesterday's report, "A first this time: Official sample count of poll results", said the Elections Department will release an official prediction of results for all constituencies well before all votes are counted in next Friday's general election. This is incorrect. The Elections Department's sample count will help provide an early indication of the possible result for each electoral division.

We are sorry for the error.
