The campaign is meant to plug the chain's first-ever store in the country, which will open its doors in late June.

Voting closes shortly beforehand, but it's not clear what exactly Burger King plans to do with the results.

Burger King didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson told the BBC that the company had not heard anything from the family.
