Dear Gilles, Yes. They are the most accurate and authentic (but of course). The media channels come up with vastly different numbers and sometimes even random numbers. I wish someone on those various panels call them out on it but it never happens. Last time in 2009, some important constituency numbers - such as Sivaganga were shrouded in major controversy partially because news channels jumped the gun in announcing the winner, which turned out to be inaccurate.
Besides, the news channels never come up with vote shares early enough. One good thing about the news channels and their websites is that the ECI site is relatively traffic-free because of the slight lag and slowness of verified updates.
