Corrections:
  • A previous version of this story incorrectly gave the location of all advance voting in the District of Kent as Harrison Mills Community Hall. We have since learned this location will only be used on Nov. 8 and in fact, voting on Nov. 1 and Nov. 5 is taking place at the Community Recreation and Cultural Centre. November 4, 2014 7:44 PM
