#Ratsatpollingstations is the new thing (Picture: Twitter/ LondonRatties)

Dogs at polling stations are always a welcome distraction at any election.

Very good dogs are waiting patiently for their owners to vote at polling stations again

Just take a look at #dogsatpollingstation and you’ll definitely agree.

But some voters are taking to the polls with new pets in tow – rats.

Though we’re still not sure whether to love or hate the furry creatures, props to them for wanting to be a part of the democratic process.


I see there's lots of #DogsAtPollingStations today. I'll be a bit different and take a rat with me. Can we start a #RatsAtPollingStations?! — Bunny (@bunny_summers) May 7, 2015
