Dogs At Polling Stations Is The Best Part About The EU Referendum

It's the best part of voting.

Once again, it's time for Britain to go to the polls. A high turnout is expected in today's EU referendum despite heavy rain and flooding in some areas.

As if exercising your democratic right wasn't enough, there's a little something extra that might push you to get down to the polling place and cast your vote.

#DogsAtPollingStations is back, and people across the country are posting cute pictures of their pups while they go to the ballot box.
