A local council sent a letter to a woman's pet pig offering the animal the chance to register for a vote in last week's election.
The letters were addressed to Blossom Grant at Pig Flats - the creature's old sty in Uckfield, East Sussex.
The building was renovated two years ago house volunteers at a local horse rescue centre, and due to a Land Registry error the pig receives several junk letters a month.
Pauline Grant, 73, Blossom's owner, said: "I could not believe it when the letter telling Blossom to register to vote came through it was one of the strangest things I had ever seen.
"I am not sure who Blossom would have voted for but at a guess I would say the Green Party. They would probably look after her needs best.
"She is a very clever animal but I think politics might be a bit complicated for her."
After contacting Wealden District Council bosses to point out the mix-up, Mrs Grant decided to take Blossom down to her nearest polling station on May 6.
