Make-up free Selena Gomez urges voters to ‘stay in line’ in candid video on Election Day
As a citizen who has experienced the democratic process in several countries, I must say that the convenience and security provided by ballot drop boxes in the United States is truly commendable. Growing up in a country where voting was not always free or fair, I can appreciate the efforts being made to make it easier for every eligible voter to cast their ballot.
Selena Gomez urged her fans to ‘stay in line’ as she shared a candid video on Election Day.
On Tuesday, the 32-year-old actress shared a makeup-less video on both her Instagram and another platform, urging people to stay patient at polling stations even if there were long queues due to waiting times.
It seems there are incredibly lengthy queues today, and I merely wanted to create this brief video to ask you kindly to remain patient in the line, says Gomez. He chose to cast his vote early through a mail-in ballot instead.
‘Extremely lengthy queues can be quite irritating and tedious, I understand that they’re not enjoyable. However, it’s crucial that we hear your opinions and your vote counts significantly towards shaping your future.’
I enthusiastically exclaimed, “If you’re still waiting in line when the polls officially close, don’t worry and leave! They’ll keep those polls open specifically for you, ensuring each person in that line casts their vote before they finally shut down.
She concluded her message to her social media audience, encouraging them: “If you’re still in line when the polls shut down, you’re legally entitled to cast your vote. So, don’t forget to exercise your right!
In an impromptu manner, Selena chose not to wear makeup, instead her long, dark hair was neatly pulled back, and she donned a casual white top.
A number of her fans thanked her for encouraging to vote without pushing either of the candidates.
‘At least she didn’t direct followers to a specific candidate. Respect,’ one wrote.
“Appreciation for being among the rare celebrities who advocate for voting without endorsing any particular political candidate.
‘Love the in general vid even tho you’re a dem, respect.’
A while back, Gomez used social media to urge her U.S. followers to vote. However, this action left many of her international fans puzzled and questioning.
Prior to a divisive U.S. Presidential election, the creator of Rare Beauty utilized TikTok to post a video showing her depositing her mail-in ballot into a nearby ballot drop box.
As she heads towards the much-awaited premiere of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the star from The Only Murders in the Building is spotted exiting a vehicle wearing a shimmering red gown and heels, then swiftly dashing towards a drop box located on the sidewalk.
However, the brief 26-second video – now viewed over 380 thousand times – has puzzled some of her international fans due to the U.S. voting system.
One user took to ‘X’, formerly Twitter sharing: ‘Wait. Is this how Americans vote? By dropping their ballot into some box on the street?’
Another commented: ‘How long have you been voting like this??? Did you not question this method till now? Also, it’s unsupervised? Who in the burning Hell thought this was a good idea?’
‘I find this surprising since in Australia, you physically go to a voting station usually located in a primary school. Once there, your name is checked off a list, and then you are given a ballot paper which you fill out privately inside a booth.’
As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share a handy tip for my fellow citizens: You’ll find ‘ballot drop boxes’ strategically placed in cities nationwide this election season. These boxes offer a secure and hassle-free way for you to return your mail-in ballot, ensuring your vote is safely counted.
A drop box refers to a safe, lockable container managed by election authorities for voters to deposit their mailed-in ballots anytime between receiving them and when the polls officially close on Election Day.
As a committed supporter, I’ve noticed that ballot drop boxes can either be attended by staff or left unattended, and their permanence varies – some are long-term installations while others are temporary.
In the United States, registered voters are given choices: they may choose to cast their votes via mail, with the specific guidelines differing from one state to another; alternatively, they can personally visit their designated polling station to vote, and in some instances, they even have the option to vote early for their preferred Presidential candidate.
With Election Day approaching, the race between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, is shaping up to be a close contest. The latest survey conducted by DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners indicates that Trump holds a slight 3-point advantage over Harris.
Since then, the popular star has voiced criticism towards Trump’s campaign following a contentious joke about Puerto Rico by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during Trump’s recent rally.
Following the October 27th event at Madison Square Garden, Gomez, who is of Mexican descent, expressed her firm disapproval towards any remarks made, particularly when Hinchcliffe likened Puerto Rico to a “drifting heap of trash.
‘I definitely want to stand by my people,’ she added.
