The Indiana Secretary of State is hosting a contest to design the “I Voted” sticker that will be handed out at the polls in November.

The contest is open to all Indiana students, with the competition divided into groups for kindergarten through third graders, fourth through eighth graders, and high school students. Submissions can be sent to [email protected] or Indiana Secretary of State, I Voted Sticker Competition, 200 W. Washington St., Room 201, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

“Our ‘I Voted’ sticker is a symbol of pride for young Hoosiers to get involved in the election process,” said secretary of state Diego Morales in a press release. “By inviting children to design stickers, we’re not only encouraging their creativity, also helping them learn about the importance of voting and civic engagement at a young age. I encourage parents and teachers to spread the word about the contest. I can’t wait to see the sticker designs Hoosier kids create!”
