Today is the last day for residents of Michigan to vote on the designs for the state’s “I Voted” stickers. The voting process began on July 1st, with the aim of selecting a new design for the stickers that voters receive after casting their ballots. The current design has been in use since 2018, and the Secretary of State’s office wanted to give residents the opportunity to choose a new look for the stickers.
The voting process is simple and can be done online. Three designs are being considered, each featuring the phrase “I Voted” in bold letters. The designs also include images that represent key aspects of Michigan, such as the state’s shape, a Great Lakes lighthouse, and the state flag. Voters have the chance to pick their favorite design and make their voice heard in selecting the new sticker.
The goal of the new sticker designs is to increase voter engagement and encourage more residents to participate in the democratic process. By allowing residents to have a say in the design of the stickers, the Secretary of State’s office hopes to foster a sense of pride and ownership in the voting process. The stickers are a small but meaningful way to celebrate the act of voting and remind residents of the importance of exercising their civic duty.
Voting on the new sticker designs closes today, so Michigan residents are encouraged to visit the Secretary of State’s website and cast their vote before the deadline. The winning design will be announced in the coming days and will be used for the next few years. The “I Voted” stickers serve as a symbol of civic engagement and participation in the democratic process, and the new design will soon be seen on the lapels of voters across the state.
