One woman jokes: “Where’s he supposed to vote?”

Another person quips: “Has he voted?” as the pig noses around a bin looking for snacks.

The unexpected visitor spent hours roaming the school in Pampahuasi, Peru, during Sunday’s (12 April) general election.

It eventually wandered off on its own – heading to a nearby park for a rest, as reported by Need To Know.

Voter Aracely Chumbes said: “The pig was just walking around outside – it wasn’t an escape or anything like that. It seems to be from the area.

“Everyone just took it as a light-hearted, anecdotal moment at the time.”

The bizarre scene quickly went viral online, with viewers cracking jokes about the four-legged “voter”.

One person asked: “Is it an omen?”

Another user joked: “Good polling station observer – he even did an inspection!”

A third person said: “Maybe the little animal is wiser than all of us – he’ll make a good choice.”
