An election year is a very important time for the country, but it can also be a very stressful time as well. Especially in recent years, things have been more tense than ever.

It seems that the State of Michigan is very aware of this and decided to add some light-hearted cheer to the election cycle by letting Michiganders of all ages submit custom designs for the iconic "I Voted" sticker Americans receive for voting.

However, one man recently expressed dismay when he didn't get a fun sticker for voting, which raises the question; how do you get these fun stickers?

A Disappointed Voter

One user took to the r/Michigan subreddit to share his disappointment about the sticker they received after submitting their mail-in ballot.

Got my mail-in ballot and my sticker disappointment is immeasurable

The comments in the thread echo his sentiments and many are saying he's lucky to have gotten a sticker at all, implying that many people are not getting a sticker for doing a mail-in ballot. It seems like it's a pretty mixed bag when it comes to getting a sticker.

Contact Your Clerk

The important thing to know before heading to your poll is that not every polling location will have the fun stickers. Clerks need to manually order the 2024 stickers for their location, so if you want to make sure your location will have the special stickers, reach out to your clerk and express that you want them to order the stickers.

To find out who your local Clerk is, view your voter information here and view your clerk's contact information. If you want the werewolf sticker or the "Ope, I voted" sticker, specifically tell your clerk you'd like to get them at your polling station. If you do a mail-in ballot, your best bet would be to try and pick up a sticker at a later time.
