Selena Gomez recently announced that she has finished filling out her ballot. In Selena Gomez's recent conversation with Damien Sayre Chazelle on Voting Power Hour, the former opened up about how US Presidential elections 2020 was her first time voting. She said she wasn't politically involved when it comes to casting a ballot. 

When host Damien asked Selena Gomez about her first time voting, the singer revealed that she has never voted earlier. Selena simply made a face and said, "Honestly, I’m not ashamed to say this, but I kind of—this was my first time". Further, in the interview, the Lose You To Love Me artist explained why she never felt liked casting a ballot, before this year. 

Explaining herself Selena Gomez said,  

"And I’m going to say that because I never felt—and this is so true and I’m now, like, admitting it to people—like my vote counts. Like, every little thing counts so I just think some people get in their head, like, 'Oh well, what does it matter?' And then once I really, really started going in and diving in to this, it’s been all I can focus on."
