The time has come to use your voice and vote in Michigan. And I don't mean for the election... that's a little bit later this year.

I'm talking about Michigan's "I Voted" stickers for this 2026!

Michigan's Popular "I Voted" Sticker Contest Returns for 2026

The Michigan Department of State (MDOS) held its inaugural "I Voted" sticker contest in 2024. They invited people all over Michigan to create submissions for new stickers, and it went so well that they brought it back for the 2026 elections.

Entries for the 2026 Michigan "I Voted" sticker were accepted until May 1, and now finalists have been chosen for us to vote on.

How Michigan's 'I Voted' Sticker Contest Works

There are three different categories—elementary/middle school, high school, and general entry—and you can pick three designs from each category.

There are a grand total of 90 designs (30 from each category) to choose from, and all the stickers are so awesome that they make it hard to pick! Regardless of what your style might be, there's bound to be a few you like, and they all seem to have a bit of Michigan flair... there are lots of robins, apple blossoms, deer, fish, and water.

How to Vote for Your Favorite Sticker

Public voting is going on now through June 30, so cast your vote for your favorites—you might even see them at the polls this November. You can cast your vote HERE.
