Can you take a selfie with your ballot on Election Day? Here's a breakdown of state laws.

Election Day is a week away, and early voting has already begun in more than half of U.S. states. But quietly casting a ballot is not enough for everyone. As with many aspects of life these days, some voters may be eager to show they’ve completed their civic duty by sharing a ballot selfie, or a photo of themselves at the voting booth, on social media.

But voter beware: Some states do not allow people to take or share photos of their completed ballot at the polls.

In fact, one North Carolina voter is suing both the state and county boards of elections after she received a letter from an investigator asking her to take down a March 5 ballot selfie she posted to social media or face a misdemeanor charge. Under North Carolina state law, photographing completed ballots is not allowed.

Some states, like Minnesota, don’t have specific laws banning the use of cameras inside polling places, but they discourage such activity because they argue taking photos or videos could compromise other voters’ right to cast their ballot in private. Other states, like Georgia, prohibit photos of completed ballots because they say that such images could potentially serve as proof, or a receipt, of the way someone voted as part of a vote-buying scheme. Before you take your camera out at the polls, here’s what to know about ballot selfie laws.

?? It’s complicated

• Arizona: Only photos of absentee ballots are allowed, otherwise it’s punishable as a misdemeanor, according to the secretary of state’s official website.

• Connecticut: Laws regarding ballot photos remain unclear, according to Ballotpedia. Yahoo News reached out to the secretary of state’s office for more guidance.

• Florida: It’s complicated. A voter can take a picture with their ballot inside the voting booth, but they can’t take photos in the polling room or early voting area. While the whole idea behind a ballot selfie is to post it online, a voter cannot show others their personal ballot, which means no social media posts.

• Louisiana: Yahoo News reached out to the secretary of state’s office and received the following email reply: “While the law does not prohibit ‘ballot selfies’ voters are NOT allowed to photograph another voter’s ballot and ARE required to vote and leave promptly so as to not delay others.”

• Minnesota: Yes and no. While there is no law that prohibits a voter from recording video or taking photos to document their own experience, the Minnesota secretary of state’s office discourages this activity.

• Tennessee: Voters aren’t allowed to take ballot photos at polling locations. Voters are allowed to take photos with absentee ballots.

• Texas: Voters can only take photos with absentee ballots. “A person may not use any mechanical or electronic means of recording images or sound within 100 feet of a voting station,” according to state law.

• West Virginia: Voters are only allowed to take photos with an absentee ballot.

• Wisconsin: Technically, ballot photos aren’t prohibited, but voters are not allowed to share images of their marked ballots.
