One hundred and fifty councils made up of over 4,300 seats are up for grabs as local elections take place across England, but everyone knows the best thing about election day is dogs at polling stations.
In what has become a British election tradition, voters post pictures of their own pooches or dogs they have spotted near polling stations using the hashtag #DogsAtPollingStations.
Here are some of the cutest:
