Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announces ‘I Voted’ digital sticker design competition open to Colorado high school students

Posted

The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announced recently that all high school students throughout the state can participate in the statewide “I Voted” digital sticker competition by submitting their designs for a new digital “I Voted” sticker.

“The digital ‘I Voted’ sticker is a great opportunity for students to engage with our democracy,” said Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “I’m already looking forward to seeing the designs Colorado high schoolers come up with to encourage Coloradans to vote!”

The new sticker design will be sent to voters via BallotTrax once they have voted in the upcoming general election. It will also be featured on the Secretary of State’s website, media channels, press releases, in media coverage and as part of digital effort to encourage people to vote across the state.

Staff from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office will also present the award during an assembly at the artist’s school.
