Story highlights Pop star flew home to Memphis for early voting 
 
 He took a selfie of himself, but ballot selfies are prohibited in Tennessee 
 
 (CNN) Kudos to Justin Timberlake for rocking the vote early. 
 
 While the pop star lives in California, he flew home to Tennessee to take advantage of early voting in his hometown of Memphis. 
 
 Timberlake, who also owns property in Nashville, wasn't wearing a "Suit & Tie," but he still looked pretty adorable in the selfie he posted on Instagram of him about to cast his ballot Monday. 
 
 "Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!! No excuses, my good people!," the singer/actor wrote in his post. "There could be early voting in your town too. If not, November 8th! Choose to have a voice!" 
 
 Of course, fans freaked out a bit as it's not every day a superstar pops up at your local polling place.

When he came down to the end of the ballot, he pulled out his phone to confirm the name of the Board of Education candidate he wanted to back. 
 
 "A poll worker told me voters aren't allowed to use smartphones at the booth," he said. "Seemed odd to me. She was a bit brusque about it, so I didn't ... ask why." 
 
 Jenna Lowenstein was also stopped when she tried to take a picture of her ballot in 2008. She was running for an Advisory Neighborhood Commission position in D.C. at the time, and wanted to send her parents a photo of her name in print. A poll worker, however, made her delete the picture. 
 
 One of the reporters on this story also tried to take a picture of her polling place during a recent election -- for no other reason than to post on Instagram to share with her friends -- and was made to delete it by a polling worker. She was then told to leave the premises. 
 
 Increasingly, there's a good chance that if you're on social media, your friends will post -- or try to post -- a photo of themselves doing their civic duty. 
 
 But in some places, they could go to jail for doing so. And in other places, where there isn't actually any law prohibiting the practice, they may be barred from doing so anyway by state officials. The restrictions aim to prevent voter intimidation or voting bribery, both practices that are prohibited under federal law. But the state policies becomes more gray when a photographer isn’t participating in those activities. 
 
 Election law on what's allowed at polling places has not kept up to reflect the ubiquity of smartphones. Instead, secretaries of state and other officials are left interpreting outdated statutes and creating policies that are often unevenly applied and confusing for ordinary voters to figure out. They not only vary from state to state, but also from precinct to precinct. 
 
 In Washington, D.C., for example, there is no law saying that Lowenstein couldn't take a picture of her ballot. The D.C. Board of Elections, however, has a policy against it and puts up signs saying cell phones aren't allowed, which also explains why Huertas wasn't able to check his device when voting. There's no real penalty if you break the rule, except being told to stop what you're doing and the ensuing frustration. 
 
 Indeed on Saturday, the last day of early voting in D.C., voters standing in line at a polling place in the upper northwest portion of the city were told by a worker to put away their phones while they waited to cast a ballot. They did so, grudgingly, with one woman asking why. 
 
 "A number of reasons," the poll worker explained, eventually mentioning the "privacy of voters" and noting that cell phones usually have cameras these days. 
 
 New Hampshire implemented a law this year that makes it illegal to share a photo of your own ballot, with a fine up to $1,000. The American Civil Liberties Union is now challenging that law, on the basis that it violates freedom of speech. But in fact, many states ban sharing your ballot, even if they don’t specify that the law extends to Twitter. 
 
 Reid Magney, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, told The Huffington Post that while there is no specific law against taking a photo of your own ballot in the state, "We advise voters not to take pictures of their completed ballots, let alone post them Facebook or Twitter." That’s because under Wisconsin’s election fraud law, it is a class 1 felony to intentionally show your marked ballot to another person. Magney said that people still do photograph and share pictures of their completed ballots, and he is not aware of anyone having been prosecuted by a district attorney. 
 
 Andy Sellars, a fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, put together a chart in 2012 showing which states have laws that actually prohibit taking photos of ballots or polling places. In short, very few do. 
 
 "We should have clarity here," said Sellars. "The danger when you have an ambiguous law in the states is it could be used for oppressive or unbalanced ends." 
 
 Most of the rules that do exist were put in place with the best of intentions, meant as measures to preserve the integrity of the voting process. Preventing the photographing of ballots, officials argue, maintains ballot secrecy and discourages vote-buying schemes, where a voter can take a photo of a marked ballot to prove he or she cast the right vote in order to get the payday. 
 
 "I certainly think it's a good thing to prohibit photographing ballots (including absentee ballots)," said University of Florida political scientist Daniel Smith. "If voters are able to photograph their ballots, they have a greater likelihood of being compensated for their vote, as it allows them to provide documentary proof to ballot brokers, or bolleteros as they are known in south Florida." 
 
 Officials also want to avoid a scenario where so-called "poll watchers" stand and take pictures to intimidate voters from turning out. Deval Patrick, now the Democratic governor of Massachusetts, wrote to the Mississippi secretary of state in 1994 about the issue. At the time, Patrick was assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. 
 
 The Justice Department's lawyers, Patrick wrote, believed that "the actions of white people in videotaping black voters at or near the polls could constitute a violation" of the Voting Rights Act, calling them "thinly veiled attempts to intimidate black voters at the polls." 
 
 Banning photography does raise some First Amendment concerns, said David Greene, senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit that defends civil liberties and free speech. He noted that after the Supreme Court ruled in Burson v. Freeman that a 100-foot buffer zone for campaigning did not restrict free speech, many legislatures took that decision to mean that it was permissible to restrict First Amendment rights on some level around polling places. 
 
 Greene added that while it’s one thing to make sure people are not pressured while voting, it’s another to forbid them from photographing their ballots, when they can go tell their friends how they voted anyway. "I don’t think you should be able to restrict that type of stuff," he said. 
 
 But Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit which defends privacy and free speech, said that forbidding tweeting a photo of your own ballot is "actually a good restriction from a voting fairness perspective." 
 
 "I imagine it's tempting to show others how you voted, but it is contrary to a theory of democratic government that recognizes the need to safeguard votes for unpopular candidates," he added. 
 
 Jerald Lentini, general counsel at the Bulldog Finance Group, which raises money for campaigns, said a good reason to change the laws on technology at the polls may simply be that they're already being "regularly broken by people who simply don't know that they're committing a crime." 
 
 "I don't know of any prosecutions for posting images of a ballot online, but I see people on Facebook doing it every single election. A lot of voters are very proud to cast ballots, especially when they feel strongly about a particular race, and they want to share that pride with their friends online," he said. 
 
 There's also the issue of possible malfeasance. While reporters are often -- but not always -- granted special permission to record and photograph at polling locations, more citizen journalists are now capturing events and sharing them online. Sellars said barring the public from being able to share problems on social media could be harmful. 
 
 "Obviously if there's a problem with how a polling station is conducting the election, that is an important thing for us to know very early or after an election," he said. 
 
 Penalties in states where there are laws prohibiting photographs at the ballot box range from misdemeanors to Wisconsin's class 1 felony. In places where the law is less explicit, violators will usually just be told to delete the picture and/or asked to leave. But the law isn't always enforced. 
 
 Suzanne, who asked that her last name not be used, voted in northern Virginia in 2011. She brought her son, who was then four months old, with her, and a polling worker agreed to take a picture of her with her "I Voted" sticker next to the optical scanner. Virginia, however, does not allow polling place photography. 
 
 In Louisiana, the state election code specifies that no one, including a voter, can "allow a ballot to be seen" by others. Violating this provision could result in a fine up to $500 and/or up to six months in jail. 
 
 But Meg Casper, the press secretary for Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler (R), acknowledged that this law has not kept up with changing technology. 
 
 "Obviously, this law was written before the age of social media, so we do receive many reports of individuals posting their ballots on Facebook, Twitter, etc.," she said. "Our response has been to remind voters that their vote is private." 
 
 Below are the laws and policies on taking photos in polling places in each state, based on the statutes and the responses received by The Huffington Post from government officials. These are rules that apply to regular voters, not reporters, who often have additional privileges. We marked a practice as "banned" whether it's prohibited by state law or by election officials. 
 
 In some cases, a state may allow photographing a blank ballot but not a completed one. In those cases, we still marked the law as banning ballot photography. 
 
 Finally, if you’re intimidating voters or engaging in vote bribery, it’s safe to say that you’re going to get in trouble no matter what. 
 
 Alabama: Alabama's policy is confusing, stating, "All citizens are allowed to photograph or videotape general election activities in a polling place as long as they remain 30 feet outside a polling place and do not photograph an elector marking their ballot." When asked how a voter could both be "in a polling place" and "30 feet outside a polling place" at the same time, Alabama Secretary of State spokesman Will Sutton explained, "I believe they mean citizens can take pictures as long as they remain 30 feet outside a polling place and do not photograph an elector marking their ballot." Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography banned. 
 
 Alaska: State law says a "voter may not exhibit the voter’s ballot to an election official or any other person so as to enable any person to ascertain how the voter marked the ballot." Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography allowed.

It's not clear, however, if this rule would apply specifically to individuals attempting to take photographs of their own ballots, and the Arkansas secretary of state's office did not return requests for comment. Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography may be allowed. 
 
 California: A 2012 secretary of state memo stated that the office "has historically taken the position that the use of cameras or video equipment at polling places is prohibited," with exceptions for media. Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography banned.

Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography allowed, although some counties may ban cell phone use. 
 
 Connecticut: State law criminalizes "any act which invades or interferes with the secrecy of the voting or causes the same to be invaded or interfered with," but it's not clear if this would apply to a voter photographing his or her own ballot. Connecticut officials did not return requests for comment. Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography unclear. 
 
 Delaware: According to the Delaware Elections Commissioner Elaine Manlove, "[V]oters are not allowed to use cameras or phones in the polling place."

Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography allowed. 
 
 Indiana: Taking a photo of a ballot and showing it to someone else -- including on social media -- is a level 6 felony in the state of Indiana. Trent Deckard, co-director of the Indiana Election Division, said there technically is no state prohibition on photography in polling places, but that could vary depending on the polling location. "We have an issue where a county elections board will adopt a policy asking people to silence their phones while they come in. There's no law on that," he said. "But then people will take that, at the precinct level, to 'don't use your phone at all.' And so they will creep a little bit further." Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography allowed, although voters may still be told to put away their phones. 
 
 Iowa: State law prohibits cameras and cell phones in the voting booth. The penalty is a misdemeanor violation.

 Kentucky: State law bars people from using a "paper, telephone, personal telecommunications device, computer, or other information technology system to create a checkoff list or record the identity of voters."

Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography banned. 
 
 Louisiana: State law says people cannot "allow a ballot to be seen," resulting in a fine of no more than $500 or jail for no more than six months, or both.

Photography at polling places doesn't appear to be banned, but it cannot be done in a way that affects or interferes with the voting process. Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography allowed. 
 
 Maine: Deputy Secretary of State Julie Flynn said, "Ballots are not public documents, so voters should not be taking copies or pics and posting their ballots. We have not prosecuted anyone for this, but this is like putting a distinguishing mark on your ballot so that a party or candidate will know how you voted (harkens back to the days when the political machine would pay people for voting for their candidates). People should be discouraged from doing this." She did not comment on photography in polling places generally. Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography may be allowed.

Verdict: Ballot photography banned. Polling place photography banned. 
 
 Minnesota: Nathan Bowie, a spokesman for the Minnesota Secretary of State, said that while there is no law that specifically prohibits voters from recording their own voting experience, the office "strongly discourages voters from using cameras or video recorders in the polling place."

– Justin Timberlake rocked the vote Monday in Memphis, but he could soon be rocking a prison cell thanks to a Tennessee law that prohibits taking pictures or videos inside polling stations, TMZ reports. According to CNN, the superstar flew to his hometown Monday to vote, taking a selfie in front of the Diebold voting machine in the process. Timberlake posted the photo to Instagram with the caption: "Choose to have a voice! If you don't, then we can't HEAR YOU! Get out and VOTE!" Now he could face 30 days in jail and/or a $50 fine. The local district attorney's office says the incident is "under review." The Tennessee legislature passed the law banning the taking of photos and videos in polling stations in 2015, the Commercial Appeal reports. Timberlake would be the first person prosecuted under the new law. In addition to voting and possibly breaking a law, Timberlake posed for photos outside the polling station at the New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Local school board candidate Suzanne Jones posted hers to Twitter. "I said, 'I know you’ve done it a lot, but I’d appreciate a picture with you,'" Jones tells the Commercial Appeal. "Someone was going to take it for me. But he said, 'No, I can take it. I do have gorilla arms, since I do this a lot.'" Timberlake lives in Los Angeles and owns property in Nashville but is still registered to vote in Memphis. The local election commission chairman says that's not really a problem. The selfie, on the other hand...
