The Indiana Secretary of State’s Office is holding an “I Voted” sticker competition for Hoosier youth. The competition will be divided into three groups based on grade level: Kindergarten through third grade, fourth grade through eighth grade, and ninth grade through 12th grade.
The first-place winning design from each grade level will be featured on stickers distributed to voters on Election Day, Nov. 5. First-place winners will be invited to meet with Secretary of State Diego Morales in the Statehouse. Second- and third-place winners from each grade level will receive social media recognition and be featured on the Indiana Secretary of State’s website. All winners will receive a certificate.

“Our ‘I Voted’ sticker is a symbol of pride for young Hoosiers to get involved in the election process,” Secretary Morales said. “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!”
How to enter
The contest is open to all Indiana students. Participants must agree to the official rules and submit their design via email (sticker@sos.in.gov) or on a printed official entry form sent in by mail. Submissions for the contest are due by Monday, Sept. 30.
