I Voted Stickers Encourage Voting

While the effect of an "I Voted" sticker on encouraging others to vote may be difficult to quantify, studies suggest that it may have some impact on the overall turnout. Facebook, for example, has estimated that "digital stickers" helped get 340,000 more people to vote during the 2010 midterm elections. These stickers typically cost only a few cents a piece. In addition, they are widely distributed, which may make them more cost effective than traditional voter registration drives. 

Currently, the I voted stickers are available in both English and Spanish. The Spanish-language stickers were distributed during Early Voting and in ballot-by-mail packets before the November 8 election. The stickers were designed by Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly, a member of the Tohono O'odham Nation. She is the first Native American woman elected to public office in Pima County. 

The "I Voted" sticker is a round symbol representing civic duty. It has become an increasingly popular symbol of civic engagement, gaining a strong following in recent years. In some states, such as Illinois, the "I Voted" sticker is even enshrined in state law. As more people vote by mail, the sticker has taken on a greater symbolic meaning. If you are an early voter, you can obtain your sticker by mail or at one of the 15 Early Voting sites operated by the Recorder's office.

The design of your I Voted sticker must be original and non-copyrighted. Digital and hand-drawn designs are acceptable, but electronic designs may not contain photographs or other copyrighted material. A design that violates any of these rules will be disqualified. Also, your design must fit within the provided template and application form. The winning design will be printed and distributed at voting locations across Davidson County. You may share it on social media.

Hudson Rowan, a fourteen-year-old from New York, created an "I Voted" sticker as his first public art project. The design, which features a neon-colored spider head, speaks to the messiness of American politics. It is also a great example of how an individual can express their civic duty through art.

Another great idea was to create "I Voted" stickers that depict the state of Alaska. This design was created after the elections office's election official discovered a design that is original and creative. The stickers, which were produced by an Alaskan artist, feature animals that represent Alaska's diverse wildlife. They include moose, walrus, raven, Dungeness crab, caribou, and eagle. And they were also designed in an Alaska Native language.

Rowan's design stood out among many submissions and has won the contest. His winning design garnered more than 190,000 votes, which is more than the total population of Ulster County, which is only 182,951. Ashley Dittus, the Democratic election commissioner in Ulster County, promised to print the winning design and promote it on social media. It's good to click on this site to learn more about the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_voting.
