Some early birds - and their dogs - have already headed to polling stations across the county to have their say in the General Election vote.

Hanna was on hand at the Didcot Civil Hall Polling Station, while the Cherwell District Council spotted plenty of pooches at Banbury polling stations.

Polling stations in the seven Oxfordshire constituencies will be open for people to cast their vote between 7am and 10pm - with those taking part reminded to bring photo ID when going to the polls.

Anyone heading out with their animal is reminded that dogs at polling stations has become a tradition because dogs are not usually allowed inside so take care to have someone looking out for your pet when heading in to vote and remember that photography is not allowed inside polling stations.

Are you taking your dog when you head off to vote? Send a picture of the pair of you, your names and your location to lucy.williams@newsquest.co.uk
