Exit polling doesn't have to be done after the "voting (is) completed".
Yes it does. If you don't wait until the voting is complete you will not get an accurate sample of people voting in that precinct. There are all sorts of conventional wisdoms about "democrats vote early", "young people vote late", etc. These phrase are indicative of a truth that campaign managers have known for years: certain demographics vote at different times. If you only use data collected from the first half of the day you will end up completely ignoring entire demographics.
