Zendaya strikes a pose in front of ballot box as she carries out civic duty with pal Darnell Appling

Zendaya recently expressed her excitement about receiving her mail-in ballot, ahead of the presidential election.

And the Emmy winner is walking the walk, after urging her 80million Instagram followers to vote. 

She struck a pose in front of a ballot box Friday, as she carried out her civic duty in style, taking to Instagram with a video of herself voting early with friend Darnell Appling.

The 24-year-old wore a brown striped sweater, jeans and white sneakers, keeping safe from COVID-19 in a face mask.

She and Appling crouched in front of the ballot box, giving a thumbs up to the camera, writing: ‘Just a couple of voters dropping off their ballots’

Zendaya previously posted a video to her Insta Story of the two of them filling out their mail-in ballots.

‘What are we doing, Darnell?’ she asked while holding up the envelope, as he responded: ‘Voting!’

The Greatest Showman actress spoke with First Lady Michelle Obama last month over Insta Live, encouraging young people to vote.

She said: ‘I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m very inspired by my peers who have continuously been out in the streets doing good work and I think we should all honor that.

‘And just all the history that has gotten into making sure that our vote counts, it matters. Now is as important a time as any to make sure that your voice is heard.’

Obama added of Gen Z: ‘You guys have an instinct about what isn’t working, who is gaslighting you, who you can trust, what the direction you want the country to go in.

‘You know in your hearts. You don’t have to even research that to know how you feel. You just need to not be intimidated by the process.’

She also congratulated the actress: ‘I’m so proud of you. Well, you’re winning Emmys and encouraging voter participation. You are a fashion icon. You’re doing it all.’

It came just after Zendaya made history as the youngest person to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, her first Emmy Award.

She took home gold for her starring role as Rue Bennett in HBO’s uber-stylized teen drama Euphoria, which premiered last year. 

The former Disney Channel star said in her speech: ‘I know this is a really weird time to be celebrating, but I just wanna say there is hope in the young people out there. 

‘I know that our show doesn’t always feel like a great example of that, but there is hope in the young people. And I just want to say to all my peers out there, doing work in the streets: I see you, I admire you, I thank you. Thank you so, so much.’ 

Zendaya can soon be seen in two ‘bridge episodes,’ to hold fans over until season two, revealing earlier this week on Instagram: ‘We really missed them. Two special Euphoria episodes coming soon. First one December 6th on @hbo’
