Dogs at polling stations, UK election photos

petsMay 7, 20261452,794

Dogs at polling stations is a photo theme collecting pictures of dogs waiting with voters during local elections across Britain. Contributions run from candid phone snaps to posed portraits and throwback shots, often captioned with election jokes, rosettes, or party puns. The gallery highlights golden retrievers on polling steps, schnauzer pairs showing off campaign collars, a greyhound exiting a booth, a dachshund library mishap, and named dogs like Albert 'voting Green', Dilys seeking treats, and Finn on guard duty. Look for leash-side portraits, doorstep group photos, and humorous captions under #DogsAtPollingStations.

Well done, Baby Dog. Voting is your civic duty. You’re looking good in your denim jacket. I bet you were the most stylish dog at the polling place! 🗳️🐶

I hope the reFUKKKer there looses his deposit and someone replaces it with what the dog deposited there.

Just pawed my vote for the Schnauzer Gang Party! 🧡 #DogsAtPollingStations #LocalElections #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Hugo, the black and silver Miniature Schnauzer has just been to vote and is sat down next to a sign saying ‘Polling Station’.

It’s Local Elections in England today (and elections in Wales and Scotland for their Assembly and Parliament).

Obligatory #DogsAtPollingStations post and also obligatory #PenisBest hashtag.

Leo, a dog, outside a pebbledash village hall in the Scottish Borders in front of a sign saying POLLING STATION. The choice is green bin or blue bin. As a newly-minted parish councillor, I’d say that wooden fence needs treating.

✅ Used the pencil provided ✅ Missed the crowd cheering at someone’s blind and very elderly fictional relative who told everyone for whom they were going to vote

Did the whole ‘dogs at polling stations’ thing today. Apparently there isn’t an election here and the librarian asked if my dachshund could stop shitting in the true crime section.
