A YouTube star may have broken US law by offering followers nude pictures if they can prove they voted for Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

Internet personality Tana Mongeau even posted a bikini picture with an image of Mr Biden’s head placed over her body as part of her “get out the vote” campaign.

Ms Mongeau, 22, made the “#bootyforbiden” promise to her 2.4 million Twitter followers and on her OnlyFans account.

“If u send me proof u voted for Biden I’ll send you a nude for free,” she tweeted.

With the bikini picture Ms Mongeau offered an update on her unique campaign.

“Update #bootyforbiden broke tana uncensored. Love to see so many ppl who want change as badly as i do. u don’t need my a** to know what’s right for America so go VOTE!" she wrote.

Shortly after that Ms Mongeau temporarily lost the verification mark on her YouTube channel, where she has 5.4m subscribers, before getting it back.

She may have lost that status because of concerns her campaign flouted electoral law, according to TMZ.com.

It is unclear if the two things are connected and YouTube have not commented.

Ms Mongeau later replied to a tweet from Paper Magazine and said that she lost her verification due to an error she made uploading content to YouTube.

"U don't need my a** to tell u who to vote for," she said.

 “I lost youtube verification because i accidentally f***ed up uploading in the backend of my acct.”
