Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams is inviting all students from kindergarten through 12th grade to participate in the third annual "I Voted" sticker contest, according to an announcement from the Secretary of State's office. The winning design will be distributed to voters in participating counties during the 2026 general election scheduled for November 3.

Students interested in entering the contest must submit original artwork that includes the words "I Voted" by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on May 29. Submissions must be in JPEG or PNG format and include the student's name, school, address and phone number, which can be uploaded through the Kentucky Secretary of State's website.

"Will the face of Kentucky voters be a big green monster? You decide," Adams said in a statement. "Our youngest Kentuckians are ready to step up with their creative ideas to make November's election a success."

The Secretary of State's Office will select finalists from the submissions, which will then be voted on by the public during the 2026 Kentucky State Fair in August. The design receiving the most votes will be printed on stickers and distributed to county clerks for use on Election Day.

Last year, Alyson Marinich of Hardin County won the second annual contest. Her design was chosen by nearly 4,000 voters at the 2025 Kentucky State Fair and has been used in Hardin County.
