The WV Secretary of State’s Office is hosting West Virginia’s first-ever “I Voted!” Sticker Contest to create interest in the state’s upcoming Primary Election and to celebrate some of the state’s best middle school artists.

Putnam County Clerk Brian Wood is proud to announce that student 267 artists in the county participated in the contest. The “I Voted!” sticker is very popular among voters. The sticker is given to voters after they cast a ballot in person during early voting or on election day.
Putnam County’s winner are:

First Place – Clinton Steele, Hurricane Middle School; Second Place – Zoey Woods, GW Middle School; Third Place (tie) – Katie Doerner, Hurricane Middle School; and Third Place (tie) – Lucy Barnes, Hurricane Middle School.

The artwork from the Clinton Steele winner will now be sent to the WV Secretary of State’s Office for the Regional Contest. Four (4) Regional Finalists will be announced on February 17th. Those four Regional Finalists will be judged and voted upon by the public on the WV Secretary of State’s Facebook page. A State Winner will be announced on March 11th during WV Civics Learning Week at the State Capitol.
