The Town of Brookline’s new “I voted” sticker will be designed by a student who lives in town.
The Town Clerk’s Office invites students in Grades K-8, including students who attend school in another community or who are home-schooled, to submit designs.
“We hope this is an opportunity for Brookline students to show off their creativity, and engage in our local democratic process,” said Town Clerk Ben Kaufman.
Students can submit an original design online or in person until March 7, 2024. Finalists for the new sticker design will be chosen by a panel of Town and School officials. The winner will be chosen by a public vote.
The new sticker will be available to voters at the Annual Town Election, scheduled for May 6, 2025.
New “I voted” stickers are part of a community engagement project from the Town Clerk’s office to raise awareness of Brookline’s elections. Brookline first introduced a new sticker ahead of the Presidential Election last November, with a turkey-themed version designed by local artist Caroline Barnes.
“The new stickers in November were well received by voters,” said Kaufman. “We hope that introducing new stickers, especially for lower turnout local elections, can help to bring more attention and spread awareness of our local democracy.”
