Voters throughout England will be heading to the ballot stations on May 4, with more than 8,000 seats to be objected to at 230 councils throughout the nation consisting of in Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside, North Tyneside and Sunderland.
But forget all of that – the most important part of an operating democracy is, obviously, the precious viral phenomenon of dogs at ballot stations. The guidelines are easy – take your dog in addition to you to the ballot station, take a breeze of them outside, and share the picture with the world on social networks.
The pattern has actually spread out throughout the UK and around the globe to as far as Australia, with political leaders participating and other animals like guinea pigs and horses even making a look. We’ve assembled a couple of images of dogs at ballot stations throughout the North East over the previous couple of years listed below. You’re welcome.
