Celebs go naked to raise awareness on naked ballots

Washington

 Reminding the importance of voting, that too in a peculiar way! This is what some celebrities in America has done by appearing naked in front of the camera.

Stars including Sarah Silverman, Chris Rock, Tiffany Haddish, Amy Schumer, and many more, have stripped down nude in a bid to grab our attention for a new PSA on mail-in ballots in the US. 

Other famous faces like Chelsea Handler, Josh Gadd, Mark Ruffalo, Kerry Washington, and Naomi Campbell hammered home the importance of voting early in the revealing clip, where they all appear to be without clothes. 

The stars also went through specific state guidelines, including how Pennsylvania requires not one, but two envelopes to put your ballot in.

At one point, funny lady Sarah, 49, lifted her arm to give a salute, uncovering her chest area as she proclaimed: 'American needs you.' – Daily Mail reported.

The PSA encourages those voting by mail to make sure they follow instructions carefully when it comes to using black ink (in some cases) and which envelopes to use. 

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2020, but each state across the country varies differently in terms of deadlines and rules. 

For example, all of California's registered voters will be mailed a ballot no later than 29 days prior to Election Day. Early voting and in-person voting locations will also be available to voters. 

Yesterday, it was reported than more 4 million Americans have already voted, which suggests a record turnout. 

Michael McDonald of the University of Florida told Reuters that he predicts a record turnout of about 150 million, which represents 65% of eligible voters and would be the highest rate since 1908.

Meanwhile, nearly half of American voters from both major parties have lost confidence in the validity of the upcoming election as they prepare to cast ballots in just 27 days, a new poll shows.

The YouGov survey of 1,999 registered voters from around the country, conducted online between October 1 and 2, found that 47 percent of respondents disagreed with the idea that the election 'is likely to be fair and honest'. 

Fifty-one percent said they did not think that Americans will 'generally agree on who is the legitimately elected president' and 56 percent said they expect to see 'an increase in violence as a result of the election'.
