The factors motivating research institutions and individuals to consider research impact on prediction of elections are manifold. Understanding the impact of different software tools, algorithms and social networking software applications on prediction of elections is a vital, and often overlooked, element of forecasting the election results. The literature review was conducted to examine methods and current software applications and practices as well as projects on election predictions. The review focused in particular on social media applications and different methods on accessing the opinion of the potential voters. The review draws on an international literature, although it is limited to English language publications. The findings identify the different methods used, the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches and the methods that are used currently and that have shown most effective results and recommendations are provided.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR)}, author={Beqiri, Lavdim and Zdravev, Zoran and Fetaji, Majlinda and Fetaji, Bekim}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={86–92} }
