Today (November 5) US citizens have been lining up to cast their vote in the Presidential election – and artists and actors, including Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Rodrigo, are among them.
While some voted early, millions are heading to the polls to choose between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, as well as a few other third-party or independent candidates, to become the 47th president of the United States.
Actors and artists are sharing photos of themselves casting their votes in this election on social media. Katy Perry posted a picture of her filling in her ballot for Kamala Harris, alongside a picture of her dog sporting an “I voted” sticker on its head.
