Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Janelle Monáe, and More Celebs Get Their Votes in Early
Celebrities are not only showing up to star in high-profile get-out-the-vote videos and concerts, but they’re also voting — early! Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Lil Jon, Janelle Monáe, Christian Slater, and Minka Kelly are just a few of the celebs who’ve taken to social media to share info about themselves performing their civic duty and urging fans to do so as well.
Perry celebrated both her 32nd birthday on Tuesday and Hillary Clinton’s 69th birthday today with a trip to the ballot box. The staunch Clinton supporter, dressed in a patriotic stars-and-stripes overcoat and sporting a flag purse, cheekily slipped in her vote, saying, “Happy birthday to me and happy birthday to you, HRC,” as onlookers captured it all on their phones.

Timberlake posted a pic of himself in front of the ballot box and wrote: “Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!! No excuses, my good people! There could be early voting in your town too. If not, November 8th! Choose to have a voice! If you don’t, then we can’t HEAR YOU! Get out and VOTE! #excerciseyourrighttovote.”

Turns out JT (who is also “with her”) may have been a little overzealous and could face some serious consequences for that selfie, which has since been deleted from his Instagram. Lucky for us, we got a screengrab!
After casting his vote, rapper Lil Jon took to Twitter to implore everyone to do their part: “JUST GONE DONE EARLY VOTING! PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED TO GIVE US THESE RIGHTS. EXERCISE THEM!”

Singer Janelle Monáe is apparently registered to vote in the Peach State as well. “Just voted early,” she shared on Instagram. “Easy process. Took 10 minutes max. No long lines. A few folks recognized me so there was a tiny delay lol … but I was in and out! Check your local voting locations and knock that shit out.”

Though Slater didn’t reveal his candidate of choice, Minka Kelly made it clear who she was with in her boomerang video showing off her “I voted” sticker. “Never has a vote felt so good. #NastyWomanWithaVoteInTheMail #ImWithHer”
