週四上午，在格洛斯特郡痛克斯特郡的一家投票站外面的現場快照，看到Airedale Terrier叫Margo耐心地擺姿勢，因為她的主人鼓勵人們執行“公民職責”，並在全國各地的各種選舉中投票。

The hashtag #dogsatpollingstations was used frequently on X, formerly Twitter, as a total of 1,641 council seats were up for grabs across 23 local authorities.

Four regional mayors and two local mayors were also being elected, and a parliamentary by-election was taking place to choose a new MP for the constituency of Runcorn & Helsby.

四名區域市長和兩名當地市長也被選舉產生，並進行了一個議會補選，以選擇新的國會議員Runcorn＆Helsby的選區。

Getting in on the popular trend on X, Niall Cook took a picture of Margo outside the polling station.

尼爾·庫克（Niall Cook）在X上流行趨勢，在投票站外拍攝了Margo的照片。

The pair made their way to vote at roughly 8am, with Margo somewhat of a veteran when it comes to posing for photos on voting days.

兩人大約在上午8點進行投票，而在投票日拍攝照片時，瑪格有點退伍軍人。

"She’s a bit of an old hand when it comes to voting, as she’s taken part in lots of #dogsatpollingstations before," Mr Cook said.

庫克說：“在投票方面，她有點老了，因為她以前參加了許多#DogSatPollingstations。”

"So for her it was probably a case of ‘oh really, not this again’."

“因此，對她來說，這可能是'哦，真的不是這個''。”

On why people should vote, Mr Cook said: "For me, I’d say that you’re talking your dog for a walk anyway, so why not combine it with your civic duty?"

庫克先生說，人們為什麼要投票，對我來說，無論如何，我還是要在散步，所以為什麼不將其與您的公民職責結合起來呢？ ”

Hugo had been going to polling stations since 2016, when the election was on his third birthday.

雨果自2016年大選即將到來的三歲生日以來就去投票站。

On why people should vote, Mr Smith said: "Your vote counts, use it to make a difference."

關於人們為什麼要投票，史密斯先生說：“您的投票很重要，用它來有所作為。”

Ms Cade, 42, voted in Rothwell, Northamptonshire, at around 8.30am and said: "(Yoshi) was hoping that by showing off his photo on his social media, it would encourage others to get out and vote, even if you’re not sure who to vote for, we say go with your heart and who you feels cares the most about the area you live in rather than what’s going on nationwide."
