If candidates can appear lots of polling stations (i.e. 5 times as
many as are needed for a quota), then there should be reasonable
overlap no matter what the party leadership wants.

Maybe the compromise that they must pick a boundary curve rather than
just indicate which polling stations is reasonable.

Also, the logistics for this are pretty complex, so it isn't likely to
be implemented.
