Like many UK citizens, Blossom received a letter from the East Sussex Council reminding her that she was currently not enrolled to vote and needed to do so.
Unfortunately, Blossom didn't get around to doing so - probably due to the fact she is a pig.
According to Orange News, a Land Registry error resulted in the letter being mailed out to Blossom at her modest sty, known as Pig Flats.
Blossom's 73-year-old owner Pauline Grant was quite astounded that Blossom would receive a letter, let alone one informing her of her voting rights.
"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," said Grant.
"She is a very clever animal but I think politics might be a bit complicated for her."
Despite the mix-up being pointed out to the Council, Blossom and her owner went down to the polling booths anyway.
"I [took Blossom] as a sort of piggy protest for ... the amount of paperwork she is expected to do," said Grant.
