Peel of Approval

Effort: 10 minutesIn 2024, Michigan let students design the stickers voters get after they cast a ballot, and the results were wild. There was a werewolf, a lighthouse, a sticker that just said "I Voted Yay," and a Wolverine ripping open its shirt that ended up on national TV. The state is running the contest again this year, and more than 2,000 people sent in designs, twice as many as last time. The winners do not get money, only the pride of seeing their design on voters' jackets all over the state. The rules are short. The sticker has to say "I Voted," it cannot be made with AI, and it has to be nonpartisan, which means it works for every voter no matter who they chose. As one state official put it, voting is a team sport, and the sticker is the team shirt. Your Task: Imagine you work in your state's election office, and this year's "I Voted" sticker is yours to choose. 1. Known For Think of something only people from where you live now would get, like a saying, a weather habit, or a landmark. Skip the first thing a tourist would name, and skip stores and brands. Say what it is and why locals would recognize it instantly. (2 to 3 sentences.) 2. The Sticker Build your sticker around that. Describe what is on it, the colors, and up to six words besides "I Voted." Then check it like an election official would, and say how you made sure no color, animal, or word on it could look like it is taking a side. (3 to 4 sentences.) 3. First-Timer Someone in your town just turned 18 and does not see the point of voting. Say what about your sticker would make voting feel like something the whole town does together, not a chore. (2 to 3 sentences.) More
