In the selfie-style clip, Witherspoon walked through the woods in a black baseball cap and coordinated athleisure-wear with Tom Petty’s “American Girl” playing in the background.
“Quick reminder that your opinions belong to you! Voting is a freedom that you get to exercise in private and it’s no one’s business but your own. So vote for the candidates you believe in," she wrote in the caption. "It’s an honor to have the right to vote. So go do it!"

She also shared the clip to her Instagram Story, emphasizing that “Voting is private 🗳️” with an additional caption.
It's a marked contrast from the "I Voted" selfie she shared on the social media platform late last week, where she revealed she voted for the current vice president and Tim Walz.
"I voted today. ✅ ," she captioned the snapshot, sharing that the consideration that was at the "top of [her] mind" while determining who to vote for was "protecting women’s rights to medical privacy and reproductive choice."

For my daughter and for the millions of hard-working American women who value our freedoms. I want to protect democracy at all costs. I love my country and no matter what happens in this election, I’m here to move our great nation forward in a unified way. 🇺🇸."
