(North Dakota Monitor) – About 2 million new “I voted” stickers are on their way to North Dakota after a Bottineau election official’s design was selected as the winner of the state’s election sticker design contest.

Haylee Senger, deputy auditor of Bottineau County, said her “You betcha, I voted” design was inspired by a Midwestern-themed sticker that said “Ope.”

“Then I got designing, and it kind of came to life,” Senger said. “I just thought it would be fun.”

Secretary of State Michael Howe unveiled the new sticker Thursday at the Heritage Center in Bismarck during a conference for North Dakota election officials. “An ‘I voted’ sticker, it’s a proclamation that you’ve had your voice heard, that you care about your community and it is a point of civic pride,” Howe said.
