The Garland County Library and the Garland County Election Commission invite kids ages 12 and under to design next year’s “I Voted” sticker to be used at polling locations across the county.
Library Executive Director Adam Webb said, “Voting is our most sacred right as Americans, and we at the Garland County Library are proud to support your right to vote. Whether it’s by serving as a polling place or facilitating the “I Voted” sticker design contest, we are here to help. We hope you will join us by voting at your public library and encouraging young people to participate in this contest.”
The contest rules are as follows:
- Participants must be 12 and under.
- The design must be round.
- The design can be hand-drawn or digitally produced.
- The design has to feature the words “I Voted” prominently.
- Designs must be submitted to the Youth Services Desk or emailed to marketing@gclibrary.com by 10/31/2025.

The Library is scheduled to be a voting site for both early and Election Day voting in the 2025 Primary and General/Midterm elections.
