(Elections BC)

Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ contains three provincial electoral districts: Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ West, Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡-Mission and Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡-Lake Country.

The borders of those ridings are often forgotten between elections and often confusing — especially as Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡-Lake Country shares a name with a federal riding, but very different dividing lines.

As the election date of Oct. 24 nears, and many ballots are set to be cast by mail, it’s important to know exactly where you’re voting.

Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡-Mission contains the Mission, Pandosy, as well as southeast Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ and Rutland south of Highway 33.

The riding borders the southern boundary of the Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ West before moving along Harvey Avenue where it borders Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡-Lake Country between Spall Road and Highway 33. The boundary continues to follow Highway 33 eastward well past Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡â€™s city limits.
