A FOUR-YEAR-OLD girl has been sent a polling card to vote in the European elections.
Felicity Percival, of Dalton Crescent, in Shildon, County Durham, was sent the card this week head of the European Parliament elections on May 22.
The news comes just days after a Rottweiler dog received one.
The youngster’s bemused mother, Rebecca Currie, 24, thinks that a mix-up when the nomination form was filled in is to blame.
Miss Currie, a Teesside University student, said: “This is the first letter that Felicity has ever received. I find the whole thing amusing.
“We live with my nan, Margaret Giles, and she filled the nomination form in. I think that she must have filled it in wrongly.”
Felicity, who attends the Timothy Hackworth Nursery and Childcare, in Shildon, follows a similar story when Zeus, a Rottweiler, from Norton, near Stockton received his own polling card.
Russell Hoyle, the owner of the eight-year-old dog, was stunned to receive the card for his pet earlier this week as revealed in today’s The Northern Echo. (Tuesday, April 15)
