Michigan’s “I Voted” Stickers Get a Novel Twist this November
New Designs Revealed for Pivotal Election Season
Michigan’s recognizable “I voted” stickers will be sporting a new look come November, with designs ranging from a werewolf performing a dramatic reveal, to a deer donning sunglasses, to a smirking cat. This creative exercise is part of the Secretary of State’s move to energize and engage public participation for the upcoming pivotal elections.
A State-Wide Contest Breeds Creativity
For the selection of the new sticker designs, the Secretary of State held a public contest with categories for general, elementary, and high school entries. With a whopping total of over 480 submissions, the competition was brimming with creative diversity and fabulous illustrative flair. Moreover, these designs garnered 57,700 votes from the public, manifesting a successful and inclusive voter engagement effort.
Among the winning entries were a Grosse Pointe middle school student’s imaginative depiction of a werewolf ripping off its shirt against an American flag backdrop, and a Holly High School student’s vibrant and celebratory “hooray” design.
Significance in Michigan’s Upcoming Elections
This redesign comes at a crucial time as Michigan prepares for significant U.S. Senate and U.S. House races, in addition to the consequential presidential election. This widespread citizen participation in the sticker contest and the general enthusiasm surrounding it exhibit the public’s heightened political consciousness and readiness for the forthcoming elections.
An Element of Fun with Serious Impact
While the contest and the new sticker designs add a touch of whimsy to the otherwise serious business of voting, they serve a crucial purpose. The “I voted” sticker is a well-known emblem recognisable across the nation. It is a statement of civic duty fulfilled and also serves as a reminder to others to do their part. With these fresh, diverse, and engaging designs, Michigan aims to boost voter activity and encourage every eligible resident to make their voices heard.
Given the stakes of the impending elections, the relevance and timing of the redesigned stickers couldn’t be better. It is anticipated that these creative badges will inject a new enthusiasm into the voters and foster a higher participation rate.
In short, this November, Michigan voters will not just cast their votes but do so while sporting vibrant stickers that effectively encapsulate their state’s creative spirit and democratic values.
