Lizzo and More Celebrities say "It's Time to Vote!" with New #RunwayToThePolls Challenge

Instagram’s newest celebrity-studded challenge includes Lizzo, Mandy Moore, Jaime King, and more encouraging people to #runwaytothepolls for the U.S. election. In partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the Black in Fashion Council, and I Am a Voter, the call to action encourages voters to share a video of themselves mailing their absentee ballots or going to the polling stations to the tune of Lizzo’s song, “Vote.” 

In her post, Moore showed her off her pair of Stuart Weitzman 5050 Vote boots as she dropped her ballot off at her mailbox, while King shared a video of comedic actor Will Ferrell also mailing in his vote. Lizzo, herself, dressed in a red, white, and blue patriotic look in a video of her twerking to Big Freedia. She wrote in the caption, “Auntie Sam out here doin what she gotta do to get y’all to vote!”

Fashion designer Prabal Gurung joined in, sharing a montage of clips from the past few months, including some of himself wearing his own “When We All Vote” t-shirts. Other major names like Sophia Bush, Debra Messing, and Barbie also participated in the challenge.

This initiative comes on the heels of Instagram’s Voting Information Center, which launched in August as a source for users to find deadlines and other important info about voting in the upcoming U.S. election. For more information on early voting or voting by mail, text VOTE to 26797.
