Actor-singer Justin     Timberlake is under     review for taking a selfie inside the polling booth.The 35-year-old singer went to his hometown in Tennessee to vote early but unwittingly broke the law  for taking a ballot selfie, reported a website.
Timberlake later shared the picture on Instagram. “Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!! No excuses, my good people! There could be early voting in your town too. If not, November 8th! Choose to have a voice! If you don’t, then we can’t HEAR YOU! Get out and VOTE! #excerciseyourrighttovote,” he wrote.
The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office said they were “made aware of a possible violation of election law” and “the matter is under review by the DA’s office.” According to the law the singer can face up to 30 days in jail and pay a $50 fine. Ballot selfie laws were signed in Tennessee last year. The laws, however, vary throughout the United States. (PTI)
