Votes are a dollar each, and you can vote as many times as you’d like. All proceeds go to benefit the Injured Animal Fund. The “PAWlitical Pets” are all Salt Lake County residents, but voters can live anywhere.
“This is the only campaign where it is legal and encouraged to buy the vote!” according to a statement from Animal Services.
