Lupita Nyong'o Explained Why The 2024 Election Will Be Her First Time Voting

Lupita Nyong'o plans to vote in the US for the first time ever in November, and when she does, she'll be casting her vote for Kamala Harris.

The Black Panther star and self-professed childless cat lady shared the exciting news yesterday on Instagram.

"IMPORTANT LIFE UPDATE: I will be voting for THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE in the US election this year!" wrote Lupita, who was raised in Kenya.

While she's historically been able to vote in Kenya, Lupita said she hasn't as of late as absentee voting is not permitted. "But this November 5, 2024, I will VOTE as a new American citizen, and I am very excited and honored to exercise that right," she shared. "That makes me a Virgin Voter!"

Lupita encouraged the "other #VirginVoters out there" to get involved alongside a link to check their registration status. She also asked the "experienced voters" out there to educate the newbies like her to ensure they vote responsibly.

"Take us virgin voters with you to the polls because…we’re not going back!! 🩵" she concluded.
