The broadcasters may take them to get a sense of what voters are thinking, but claim they don't rely on them for election night predictions. This seems true since many results can come in before the broadcasters call it.
I'm working at a polling station election night (in Atlantic Canada). I should be home long before the bulk of Canada's polls close. I remember one time getting home and having the election declared based on the results in Atlantic Canada. We're not back to those days.
Last election, CTV had a system online that automatically updated. It was a nice system and expect them to have it up again. It's going to be a late night for me!
