How and where to vote in crucial Nanaimo riding byelection
NANAIMO — The spotlight is on Nanaimo as residents head to the polls for the fifth time in roughly two years.

But if BC Liberal candidate Tony Harris wins, the Liberals and NDP-Greens will be tied in the legislature in a scenario widely expected to spark another provincial election.
