KEY POINTS

  • Chelsea Handler went topless except for "I Voted" stickers in a new Instagram video
  • The comedian also shared tips on how voters should handle intimidation
  • British actress Kate Beckinsale also stripped down to get out the vote

Chelsea Handler went topless on Election Day to announce that she has voted and to encourage others to cast their ballots for the 2020 presidential election before it is too late.

On Tuesday, Handler shared a clip on Instagram where she is topless except for two "I Voted" stickers. In the caption, she reminded her followers that "every vote is counted."

"If you see something that doesn't look right at the polls, or need help voting, call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline: (866) 687-8683," she wrote, before adding, "My apologies to my nieces and nephews."

Handler also asked her fellow Americans not to let anyone scare them away from casting their ballots at polling stations.

"Please do not let anybody intimidate you on the voting lines. I know it's gonna be intimidating when people have guns in the state of Michigan, which is ridiculous," she said. "If you are intimidated by anyone, please do not engage. Hold your head up high, go in and cast your ballot to the candidate that you choose."

"This is a democracy, we will not stop until every vote is counted," Handler continued. "We don't know how it's gonna go today. It could be called tonight because it could be such an overwhelming victory for Joe Biden or we could have to wait days and days and days and days. Either way, you have to be prepared to accept that democracy means that every vote is counted.”

Numerous celebrities and influencers have been going the extra mile to encourage fans to vote in this year's election.

Model Ireland Baldwin went the same route as Handler last month, sharing a series of photos in which she is topless except for a couple of "I Voted" stickers.

"Voting is cool and so are disproportionate boobs," she captioned the images.

British actress Kate Beckinsale also stripped down to get out the vote even if she can't cast her ballot in the U.S. In a photo posted on her Instagram Tuesday, she showed off in a custom gold bra by jeweler Nina Berenato that spelled out the word "VOTE" and encouraged her fans to "be kind to yourselves, and each other" on Election Day.

Meanwhile, Lizzo went all out and posed for an election-themed photoshoot last month. The singer donned an "Auntie Sam" outfit that included a star-spangled hat and blue blazer as she told her followers, "ITS TIME TO USE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE. WE NEED YOU."
