But there is no right to bring your ordinary pet dog into the polling station and it should be left outside. Please note: spoiling your ballot should be a last resort. If you have a larger animal, such as a horse, you can bring it to the polling station but it must be tied up outside. Technically you can take a photo inside a polling station without this happening – for instance, a selfie with a blank wall as the background – but it’s best to play it safe and leave your snaps for until you’re outside. If someone asks you for ID and tries to stop you voting, report this immediately to the polling staff or a police officer if they are present. The only exception is if you are voting anonymously – for instance, to protect your identity if you have been a victim of domestic abuse or harassment.

Elections live as voters head to the polls in every London borough (MyLondon)

Voters are heading to the polls across London and much of the country today, with all of London's 32 borough councils and their 1,817 seats up for election.

Kyle Taylor, director of campaign group Fair Vote UK hit out at the move last month: “This [change] seeks to disenfranchise voters and rig the system in favour of the government of the day. We've covered the introduction of mandatory voter ID below, but there's another change coming to how we vote in the capital. The current arrangement lets voters pick a second preference, which is used if their first choice candidate doesn't have majority support, and means mayors tend to need more than 50 per cent of the vote to win. The Bank is warning that the rise in the cost of goods is set to peak at over 10 per cent this year, and the economy will shrink in 2023. It is, I'll admit, for the real nerds, but it can be fascinating to spot mixed messaging, whether parties are including their own leaders on their literature, and - as I discovered yesterday - embarassing typos. They included the hashtag '#BikesAtPollingStations', a version of the '#DogsAtPollingStations' trend. There are an estimated two million people in Britain who lack the 'right' kind of ID to vote next time. However, if a voter would like to highlight their participation in the elections, we suggest this is done outside the polling station before or after they vote." Ms Life told MyLondon: "I’m working in Ealing, and voting in Westminster. All the wards seem to have been re-located, as I was previously Warwick Ward and voted at the library. It’s against the law to share a snap of a ballot paper, under Section 66 of the Representation of the People Act 1983. MyLondon will be covering the London election results as they come in overnight and throughout Friday. It isn’t against the law to take a selfie outside a polling station, but you're strongly discouraged from doing so in or near a voting booth.
