AS people across the country head out to cast their votes in today's election, their political pooches have also been exercising their voting rights.

The hashtag #DogsAtPollingStations has taken over Twitter once again after a sharp rise in popularity during the EU Referendum last year and the local elections last month.

Here are some more of our favourite #DogsAtPollingStations from Twitter: 

Some looked incredibly proud to be doing their bit: 

While others did their homework in preparation. 

Some got a bit too excited about the whole affair...

While others turned up to look their best for the camera.

And it's not just dogs getting in on the voting action...
