The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters has launched its inaugural “I Voted” sticker design contest, inviting students to create the official sticker for the upcoming General Election.
The County of Santa Clara Registrar of Voters’ Office (ROV) has announced the opening of its first-ever “I Voted” sticker design contest. This initiative invites students from across Santa Clara County to contribute their artistic talents by designing the county’s next official voter sticker, which will be distributed during the General Election on November 3, 2026.
The contest will run for six weeks, starting from March 24 and concluding on April 30. Students of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to participate, making this a unique opportunity for young artists to showcase their creativity.
Participants can submit their designs in one of three categories: Elementary/Middle School (grades K–8), High School (grades 9–12), and College & Trade School. This structure ensures that students at various educational levels can compete fairly and have their work recognized.
Artwork submissions can be made online, by mail, or in person at the ROV office. Detailed instructions, design rules, and the official submission template are available on the contest website at sccvote.org/sticker, where participants can also upload their entries.
Following the submission period, ROV staff will review all entries and select finalists in each category. These finalists will be showcased online for public voting from late May to early June, allowing residents of Santa Clara County to cast their votes for their favorite designs. The winners of the contest are expected to be announced in late June.
“We are thrilled to open this contest and invite our community to show us their creativity,” said Matt Moreles, the Registrar of Voters. “Santa Clara County is filled with imaginative, talented students, and we can’t wait to see the artwork that will bring our next ‘I Voted’ sticker to life.”
For complete rules and submission guidelines, interested participants can visit sccvote.org/sticker. For any questions, they can reach out via email at outreach@rov.sccgov.org. Media inquiries can be directed to rov.media@rov.sccgov.org.
This contest not only encourages civic engagement among young people but also fosters a sense of community pride as students contribute to the democratic process through their art.
According to Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters, this initiative aims to inspire creativity and participation in the electoral process among the youth of the county.
