In her post, Roberts, 60, said she and her family waited three hours to cast their votes, but that it was "worth it."

The occasion comes after the couple marked a milestone of their own last month.

Roker and Roberts, who tied the knot in 1995, celebrated 25 years of marriage and wished each other a happy anniversary on social media.

"It couldn't possibly have been 25 years ago. Could it?? 25 years of love, laughter, peaks, valleys, discovery, bewilderment, bliss, struggle and all that this journey offers," Roberts wrote alongside a series of throwback photos of herself and Roker on their wedding day.

The two also share daughter Leila, 21, and Roker is dad to daughter Courtney, 33, from his previous marriage to producer Alice Bell.
