YORK, Pa. — The Cultural Alliance of York County and the County of York announced this week that they have selected three winning designs submitted by over 200 K-12 grade students for York’s "I Voted!" stickers, which will be used in the November 5, 2024 Presidential General Election and the 2025 Primary Election.
A committee of local educators, a Judge of Elections, and artists chose a winning design from each age group to be produced into the commemorative 2-inch “I Voted” stickers given to York County residents who vote in November and in the 2025 primary.
The winners are:
- Grades K-5th winner: Kylie Fisher, Logos Academy
- Grades 6-8th winner: Estella Dugger, Home Schooled
- Grades 9-12th winner: Madeline Zarate, Northern York High School
“This was a tough decision for our panel,” said Kelley Gibson, President of the Cultural Alliance of York County. “We had so many talented submissions that really showcased the uniqueness of York County and civic pride in our elections process by these students. We were thrilled with the participation of so many students around the county in the first-ever competition.”
“Identifying opportunities to engage our future voters is important,” stated President Commissioner Julie Wheeler. “This contest was an innovative way for students to showcase their artistic talent and learn about voting. With approximately 200 submissions in our inaugural year, I am thrilled with the level of engagement and am excited to see newly designed I Voted Stickers in the 2024 General Election.”
York County voters will receive one of the three I Voted sticker designs at their local polling place when they cast their ballot on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, or when they turn in their ballot at the York County Elections office.
