Six students win New Hampshire’s 2025 ‘I voted’ sticker contest. See the winning designs

New Hampshire officials have announced the six winning designs in the 2025 “I Voted” Sticker Contest, a tradition that invites young Granite Staters to help shape a small but beloved piece of the state’s election experience.

Secretary of State David Scanlan and Deputy Secretary of State Erin Hennessey recently revealed the winners: Bianca Prizio of Milford, Sadie Winter of Windham, Rajapuri Mahima Sai Singh of Lebanon, Evelyn Meyer of Chester, Nirali Batra of Etna, and Sierra Winslow of Nottingham. Their artwork—featuring everything from covered bridges to native wildlife to nods to the state’s iconic First-in-the-Nation Primary—will appear on stickers handed out to voters during the 2026 state elections.

More than 2,800 fourth- and fifth-graders submitted designs this year, far more than usual. The volume made the judging process so competitive that officials expanded the winner’s circle from four to six entries. Town and city clerks helped select the finalists during their annual conference in late October.

The six students will be invited to the Secretary of State’s Office to present their designs in person. All timely submissions will be displayed on posters organized by town, city, and grade when lawmakers return in January.

Lily Woo, the state’s civic and voter education coordinator, said the submissions show how deeply young students value New Hampshire’s character and traditions.

“The nearly 3,000 ‘I Voted’ stickers submitted from well over 100 schools and countless New Hampshire cities and towns are clear evidence that young Granite Staters take great pride in the treasured and time-honored features that make our state unique,” she said.
