Electoral polls have forgotten the elector and approached to political parties and media for getting theirs main function that is the creation of public opinion. This causes serious damagesto political and human rights of the citizens, specifically the prohibition of the poll publication eight days before the polling day according to the article 190.4 of the Electoral Procedures and Institutions Federal Code, which is an unconstitutional legal disposition because it is damaging the equality right, the information right, the speech freedom and the press freedom and also the poll right that the author proposes, which should be applied with the same principles of the right to vote. So the author proposes among other ideas, the creation of a law and a poll companies registry.

Keywords : Electoral polls; public opinion; human rights; elector; poll right.
