Ohio unveils limited edition ‘I Voted’ sticker for America 250

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Ohioans will be able to get a limited edition “I Voted” sticker this November that commemorates America’s 250th birthday.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose unveiled the special design this week at the 2026 Ohio Secretary of State Annual Conference.

The new design is an effort to encourage more people to vote and highlight the importance of civic engagement. Watch the latest headlines from NBC4 in the player above.

“As our nation prepares to celebrate 250 years of freedom, self-government, and civic participation, this special edition sticker serves as a reminder that every vote helps write the next chapter of the American story,” LaRose said in a statement.

The new sticker features the familiar “I Voted” design but also includes a large blue border, a sunrise illustration in the background, and a large “250” with a gold banner that says “America” with the dates 1776 and 2026.

“You all know the most important thing to some people about Election Day is their ‘I Voted’ sticker,” LaRose said. “Well, it’s become iconic, people love their ‘I Voted’ sticker. So we decided, let’s maybe have some fun and celebrate America’s 250th birthday.”

All 88 county boards of elections will have a limited supply of the special sticker, which will be available to voters who cast early in-person ballots or vote on Election Day, while supplies last.

“We hope Ohio voters will wear this sticker proudly as we celebrate this historic milestone together,” LaRose said.

Early in-person voting for the November election starts on Tuesday, Oct. 6.
