An entire Spanish village voted in less than 30 seconds in this weekend's local elections.
The seven registered voters of Villaroya, a small village in the La Rioja province, beat their own previous record of 32 seconds.
Salvador Perez, the incumbent mayor, has been in the role since 1973.
"I don't know if I'll get all seven votes, but it's almost certain that I will," he told Spanish media.
Mr Perez said that Villaroya's residents are "very well trained" and were ready to cast their votes as soon as polls opened this morning.
