(NEXSTAR) – 无论你是第一次投票还是第50次，在选举日投下选票都可能让人感到意义重大，以至于你想拍张照片记录下这一刻。但这取决于你身在何处，可能不被允许。
(NEXSTAR) – Whether you’re voting for the first time or your 50th, casting a ballot on Election Day can feel monumental, so much so that you want to take a photo to capture the moment. Depending on where you are, that may not be allowed.
根据全美州议会议长会议（National Conference of State Legislatures）的说法，各州对“选票自拍”的规定各不相同。
States have varying rules on “ballot selfies,” according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
在密歇根州，选民可以在投票亭内拍摄选票照片，但官员表示，他们不能举着选票拍自拍。在投票地点外允许拍自拍，并且“鼓励”这样做。
In Michigan, voters can take a photo of their ballot in the booth, but they cannot hold up the ballot for a selfie, officials say. Selfies are allowed and “encouraged” outside the polling location.
俄克拉荷马州法律禁止选民在选举围场内分享自己如何投票。官员表示，该州选民可以拍摄自己标记过的选票照片，但在离开围场之前，不能将其分享给他人或在社交媒体上发布。
Oklahoma law prohibits a voter from sharing how they voted while inside the election enclosure. Officials say voters in the state can take a photo of their marked ballot but cannot share it with someone or on social media until they’ve left the enclosure.
阿拉巴马州允许选民拍摄自己的选票，条件是“不披露任何其他选民选票的内容，也不干扰投票过程”。马里兰州也允许选民拍摄自己标记过的选票。其他州的选民并没有同样的机会。
Alabama allows voters to photograph their ballot “as long as they do not disclose the content of any other voter’s ballot or disrupt the voting process.”Maryland also allows voters to take a photo of their marked ballot. Voters in other states do not have the same opportunity.
根据德克萨斯州选举官员的说法，在投票进行的房间内不允许使用“无线通信设备”，且在距离投票站100英尺以内不得录制图像和声音。
“Wireless communications devices” aren’t allowed in a room where voting is happening, and images and sound can’t be recorded within 100 feet of a voting station, according to Texas election officials.
虽然没有法律禁止选民在明尼苏达州的投票地点拍照或录像，但州务卿办公室不鼓励这样做。录制标记过的选票“可能违反”州法律。
While there is no law that stops a voter from taking a picture or recording video at a Minnesota polling place, the Secretary of State’s office discourages it. Recording a marked ballot “could violate” state law as well.
