FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX News) — Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams has announced the eight finalists in the state's 2026 "I Voted" Sticker Contest.

The contest allows Kentucky students to create designs aimed at encouraging voter participation. The winning design will be printed on official "I Voted" stickers distributed to county clerks for use during the November 2026 general election.

"By offering designs for our 'I Voted' sticker, Kentucky students have done their part to promote voting," Adams said in a news release. "Now, it is up to Kentuckians of all ages to determine the winner."

Kentuckians can vote for their favorite design at the Secretary of State's Office booth during the Kentucky State Fair, which runs Aug. 20-30.

The finalists are:

  • Cash Litzler, Fleming County
  • Heer Patel, Metcalfe County
  • Meylin Zelaya, Franklin County
  • Ryker Asher, Laurel County
  • Rylan Bowman, Hopkins County
  • Suzy Heichelbech, Woodford County
  • Walden Fox, Fayette County
  • Xavier Caird, Fayette County

The design receiving the most votes will become Kentucky's official "I Voted" sticker for the November general election.
