Judging by social media, Hollywood hit the polls hard today — celebrities from Sarah Jessica Parker to Jennifer Garner and many, many more proudly shared selfies to document an important civic duty: voting.
Many public figures (including celebrities) have mobilized in recent weeks to remind people how voting can affect change. And in addition to talking the talk, they are walking the walk. Proof? All of these beautiful post-voting selfies, complete with “I voted” stickers, of course.
Zendaya
The Greatest Showman star Zendaya shared a video on Instagram of herself doing what could possibly be described as a “happy dance” with her sticker.
