I mean, if that kind of dumbing-down of polling maps is going to inch uphill to the provincial and federal level, than you might as well euthanize it all on behalf of post-FPTP "electoral reform", electronic balloting, etc etc where traditional "polling divisions" no longer much matter, except maybe through postal-code data that'd understandably less accessible to the general public.

When New Brunswick went to electronic counting, and only sprung for one tabulator per polling station (maybe 2 in really busy ones), they still felt the need to include that granular polling division data. The PD # is coded on each ballot. If anything, it's even better, since the results by PD include advance and special ballots too. The only ballots that aren't included are the ones where they screwed up the coding, and that was ~1% of all of them.

I'd love to see other places adopt it.

There was an amalgamation plebiscite in the Haut-Madawaska region. Voters approved amalgamation 493-299. SAD!  The plebiscite merges the parishes of Lac Baker, Saint-François, Clair, Baker Brook, Saint-Hilaire, Madawaska, and the villages of Clair, Baker-Brook, Saint-François de Madawaska and St. Hilaire into a rural community.

Fun fact: this was actually a revote. First one was last November, and it failed because one municipality said no.
