Los Alamos County Clerk Invites Students to Design 2026 "I Voted" Stickers
Los Alamos County students from pre-K through 12th grade have until April 7 to submit sticker designs that could appear at every county voting center this election season.
The Los Alamos County Clerk's Office is inviting students across the county to pick up a pencil or open a design app and create the official "I Voted" sticker for the 2026 election season. The competition is open to students from grades Pre-K through 12th, and winning submissions will be printed as official stickers distributed at all Los Alamos voting centers.
The contest, which the Clerk's Office describes as aimed at engaging youth in civic participation and voting awareness, carries a straightforward creative requirement: each design must incorporate one of three phrases, "I Voted," "I Voted Early," or "Future Voter." Entries can be submitted digitally or as hand-drawn artwork, keeping the barrier to entry low for students of all ages and skill levels.
The practical stakes are real. Whichever designs are selected will not hang on a classroom bulletin board or a school website; they will appear on stickers handed to voters walking out of Los Alamos polling places throughout the 2026 election season. For a county where civic identity runs deep, the contest offers students a tangible connection to the democratic process well before they are old enough to cast a ballot themselves.
Submissions are due by April 7. Details on how to submit designs are available online through the Los Alamos County Clerk's Office. The office has not yet released information about the number of winning designs to be selected, judging criteria, or when winners will be announced.
