High school students throughout Colorado are encouraged to participate in a contest being offered by the secretary of state’s office to create an “I Voted” digital sticker.
“The digital ‘I Voted’ sticker is a great opportunity for students to engage with our democracy,” Colorado 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!”
A selected sticket design will be sent to voters via BallotTrax once they have voted in the upcoming general election, a press release from Griswold’s office reads. 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.
The contest opens Aug. 1 and closes Sept. 2. Contest rules and other information is AVAILABLE HERE.
Editor’s note: Contrary to the secretary of state’s comment, the founding fathers told us the United States is “a Republic, if you can keep it.” It is not a democracy.
