Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announces “I Voted” digital sticker design competition open to all Colorado high school students

Denver, August 1, 2024 - The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announced today that all high school students throughout the state can participate in the statewide ““I Voted” digital sticker competition by submitting their designs for a new “I Voted” digital sticker.

“The digital ‘I Voted’ sticker is a great opportunity for students to engage with our democracy,” said Secretary Griswold. “I’m already looking forward to seeing the designs Colorado high schoolers come up with to encourage Coloradans to vote!”

The new sticker design will be sent to voters via BallotTrax once they have voted in the upcoming General Election. 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.
