COUMBUS—For years, voters across Ohio have proudly worn stickers on Election Day to show off the fact that they went to the polls.
But the next time you vote, the sticker will look a little different.
That’s because a young Ohioan will have created it.
Secretary of State Frank LaRose is holding a design contest for a new sticker that will replace the old one for at least the next four years.
The competition is only open to kids in grades 6-12.
The goal is to involve young people in the democratic process in a fun way.
"Ohioans wear this sticker proudly,” said LaRose. “Whether they’ve voted by mail, during one of Ohio’s 28 days of early voting, or in person on Election Day. We want students to have fun, be creative, and when the time comes to select a winner, we want them to vote!”
The design must be circular shaped and submitted by Sunday, April 28th.
And then the public will get to vote between the top five picks.
The winner will be announced May 13th.
