Taking a selfie in the voting booth on Election Day is against the law in Florida and Georgia.
But a Michigan judge is casting doubt about the constitutionality of laws that ban voters from taking and sharing photos of marked ballots after siding with the plaintiff who argued it’s a form of protected free speech.
When you step into the voting booth to cast your ballot you’re expected to have some privacy. Poll workers even give you a secrecy sleeve to cover your ballot.
“I don't really think it's a problem,” said voter Ed Clay.
But some people want to share who they voted for by posting ballot selfies of their civic duty.
The St. Johns County supervisor of elections office said it’s generally not an issue, in fact, it’s difficult to enforce.
Aside from having a sign posted inside, if a poll worker sees you taking a photo you’ll likely get a warning.
For some voters, like Karen Belling, privacy is key but she doesn’t mind the pictures.
“I don't have a problem with taking a picture of yourself,” said Belling.
Other local voters said the voting booth should maintain a certain level of privacy for everyone.
“Not that I care if anybody knows who I voted for but some people are private about it. I could see where it could possibly cause a problem,” said Clay.
