The Clerk and Recorder's Office says the contest allows young community members to participate in the election process, even though they aren't old enough to vote.
“It was a joy for me to see what 'I Voted' meant to our winners and how they used their talent to translate it into their design,” said El Paso County Clerk & Recorder Steve Schleiker. “These meaningful and impactful pieces of art truly capture the essence of civic pride and the importance of voting. Their creativity and talent shine through, and I can’t wait to see their design proudly worn by voters across the entire county.”
