#DogsAtPollingStations: UK Voters Exercised Their Democratic Rights (And Their Dogs!)

UK voters headed to the polls on Thursday were more than just exercising their democratic rights – they were exercising their dogs, too!

Using the hashtag #DogsatPollingStations, voters headed to the polls, their dogs in tow, to document the day with a little fun and encourage others to get out and vote, too.

After all, it’s a very big decision selecting the right PAWty!

‪I have voted! Accompanied by Max and Ollie #dogsatpollingstations There is still 15 minutes left to vote! #GoVote #GeneralElections2017 ‬

Write your MP’s #politics #politicsdog #dogsatpollingstations tell them your vote is for sale. Tell them what you want. Also write your local opposition parties, tell them what you’d like too. There may be another #election soon. This gov may well be stable but it may not. #election2017 Why not check out my pawtners?
