This is why these celebrities don’t vote

The celebrity world has typically set a good example when it comes to the issue of voting, undoubtedly even more so since perhaps the most polarizing president in U.S. history pledged to Make America Great Again.

«We have to vote like our life depends on it, because it does,» remarked Beyonce in her powerful 2020 BET Awards acceptance speech. Selena Gomez reportedly even offered to slide into the DMs of any fan who could prove they’d registered to vote. Social media is always flooded with stars proudly showing off their colorful ‘I Voted’ stickers whenever a significant election takes place. And even outside major elections, some celebs are unabashed about using their platform for political purposes. 

But not every famous face is as keen to race toward the voting booth. In fact, there are some musicians, actors, and TV presenters who don’t even bother to make the trip at all. However, as you’re about to discover, their failure to rock the vote isn’t necessarily down to sheer laziness.
