Polling problem THE rugged terrain and relatively inflexible elec- toral boundaries in the Howe Sound region are playing havoc with some of the area’s residents. Voters living in Mount Currie, D’Arcy, Pember-ton and Lions Bay may have received voter information cards which list Squamish as their voting station.
