urged Americans to make their vote count this election season in her first Instagram livestream.
Obama, one of the many famous faces to promote National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, recorded a jointwith actress Zendaya, who recently became the youngest winner of the best actress in a drama Emmy award at age 24. Obama specifically highlighted the importance of young people making their voice heard through voting.
"I know there's a lot of people your age who are frustrated with the process," she said. "They feel alienated by the system. And a lot of times they think, 'My vote doesn't matter. I don't believe in it. So let me just sit it out or maybe vote for a protest candidate.' But what we've got to remember is these elections are decided by a handful of votes."
She added: “Voting is easy. It is something that we can do. Don’t listen to people who will say that somehow voting is rigged and your vote will get lost and it won’t be counted. That is not true.”
