I guess the polls opening 1&1/2 hours earlier then Ontario is the gov'ts way of trying to lessen the effect of BC voting after the election has already been decided. A sensible compromise and exactly the type of thing that a gov't gets right but no-one notices.

I thought federal law said you were to have four hours to vote. If the polls are open 8 to 8, and you work 9-5 - you can get off at 4 to have your four hours. If you work 8-4 your work owes you nothing.
I could be wrong on the four hours though. Maybe I should've googled it first....brb...
