CONCORD – Secretary of State David Scanlan and Deputy Secretary of State Erin Hennessey recently announced the six winners of this year’s I Voted sticker contest.

The winning designs will be distributed statewide during the 2026 state elections.

The winners include 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. The students’ designs capture some of the best aspects of the Granite State, including quintessential covered bridges, local wildlife and famous First-in-the-Nation Presidential primary.

More than 2,800 fourth- and fifth-grade students participated in the contest, making it nearly impossible to choose just four winners, so the Secretary of State’s Office chose two additional winners. The six winners will be invited to the secretary and show off their designs.

Every timely contest submission will be displayed on posters, organized alphabetically by town/city and grade, in the temporary legislative offices at 1 Granite Pl. when the legislature is back in session in January 2026.

Scanlan would like to thank the Department of Education, the New Hampshire Superintendents Association, state senators and representatives as well as the local town and city clerks for their help facilitating and spreading the word about this contest. Looking at the countless submissions brought joy to the secretary of state’s staff. The Secretary of State’s Office would like to thank every fourth and fifth grade student that participated in the contest and the teachers who encouraged them to do so.

“The beautiful I Voted sticker designs created by talented fourth- and fifth-grade students across New Hampshire encapsulate the best of the Granite State,” said Hennessey. “We’re thrilled that interest in this biannual contest continues to grow and that our town and city clerks had such a fun time picking our winners.”

“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,” said Lily Woo, civic and voter education coordinator. “Thank you to everyone – educators, administrators, parents and guardians who supported and encouraged the civic participation of students in this year’s contest.”
