​Kitsap residents, including students, invited to submit 'I voted' sticker designs

PORT ORCHARD, WA - Kitsap County residents are invited to submit art for consideration for the "I Voted" stickers included in ballots for the 2025 General Election and 2026 Special Elections.

​

This is the third year the Kitsap County Auditor's Office has invited Kitsap residents to submit proposed designs for the stickers, which show a citizen's commitment to to the democratic process by voting and encouraging their friends and neighbors to vote.

The 2023 sticker was selected out of stickers drawn by high school students. The 2024 contest was conducted among the community at large and the county used three of the stickers submitted. This year the invitation will again go to the public and students.

"We expect to choose multiple entries again this year, with at least one each coming from the general public and the schools," said Paul Andrews, Kitsap County Auditor.

The county has been including an "I voted" sticker in ballot packets since 2022. Sticker contests are a growing phenomenon nationally.

For 2025 all Kitsap County residents, including students, are invited to submit designs that will first be used in the November General Election. The deadline is 8 a.m., Tuesday, May 27, the day after Memorial Day

Entries must be accompanied by a signed release form, obtainable from our office or at https://www.kitsapgov.com/auditor/Documents/sticker%20release.pdf .

Entries must be from residents of Kitsap County.

Art should be designed to fit a 2-inch circle, and elements must be original, free to use and not restricted by copyright. We'll accept standard photo formats, such as jpg or png.
