It seems like every election is “the most important one yet.”

This year, though, from publicity stunts on Voter Registration Day to stripping nude to send a message, celebrities have become particularly engaged in politics.

On Wednesday, the grassroots, anti-corruption campaign RepresentUs released a video of famous folks — comedian Sarah Silverman, actor Mark Ruffalo and model Naomi Campbell, among others — explaining the concept of “naked ballots.”

“I know what you’re thinking — you’re thinking, Ruffalo, put your clothes on,” the barechested “Avengers” actor said to the camera.

“Did you know that ballots could be naked?” actress Ryan Bathe asked.

“And if you don’t do exactly what I tell you, your ballot could get thrown out,” Silverman added, talking about mail-in ballots.

The celebrity crew explained that in states such as Pennsylvania, if a voter fails to place a ballot in both an inner and outer envelope, it’s considered “naked” and won’t count.

The Hollywood advice comes after the top elections official in Philadelphia, Lisa Deeley, cautioned that a recent ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court invalidated “naked ballots” — which could contribute to the voiding of more than 100,000 votes in the state.

“You can be naked, but your ballots cannot,” quips the RepresentUs website.
