Dogs at Polling Stations is back - the highlight of any election day

It's the local elections across Greater Manchester today.

Polling stations across the country opened their doors at 7am on Thursday May 2 and close again at 10pm. It's all a bit dry, but unsurprisingly British dog lovers have made it more about pets than politics - and that is perfectly fine.

In past years Dogs at Polling Stations has become something of an election day staple, and 2019 is no different.

Once again it's all popping off on the #dogsatpollingstations hashtag on Twitter and these are some of the highlights.

 

CAUTION: There are some wet pooches out there.

We at the M.E.N. do not discriminate and enjoy all animals, so alas, here is a duck, and a cat.

If you have an animal other than a dog or cat (or a duck friend) that you take to your polling station then we want to see. Contact us using the details below.
