Except this data isn't taken from the real poll; its an exit poll. It is entirely voluntary. People are free to state nothing, lie, or truth. Exit polls are normal in US.

I don't like exit polls though, and know how I deal with exit polls. I do my uttermost best to DoS them...

Same when asked on which party I'd vote. 1) None of your goddamn business 2) Not relevant, only influences opinions making the popular even more popular working strategic voting in hand (nobody wants to see their vote wasted to a loser).

What happened during EU election was different. The Netherlands voted on thursday whereas other countries still had to vote on saturday and sunday whereas the Netherlands voting results were released on friday because 'they are always released a day after election day'. A shame.
