Residents across the north and north-east turned out to vote in this year’s election accompanied by their four-legged friends.
Dogs at polling stations – the craze of snapping a photo of your dog when you cast your ballot – became popular in 2015 and is now a must-do on polling day.
Pooches pose for photos outside the polling station, with the photos usually shared on social media with the hashtag #dogsatpollingstations.
It comes as thousands of people across the north, north-east and west coast vote in the 2024 General Election.
Our politics team will be bringing you exclusives, analysis and news as it happens after polls close at 10pm – here are five things to look out for.
Meanwhile, here are some of the best dogs at polling stations across the north and north-east.
Send us a photo with your dog’s name and location to livenews@ajl.co.uk if you want your four-legged friend to be included!
