I voted Sticker

Voters made their voices heard at polls throughout the country yesterday, and we got the proof on iReport! No matter how old or how often you’ve been voting, getting the "I Voted" sticker to show you cast your vote seems to be a national delight.

This Election Day, we asked iReporters to submit photos of their voting stickers in a campaign to get one from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. We were amazed at how many came in within the first 24 hours. At last count, we had stickers from 41 states -- some states with several different stickers -- including tri-lingual stickers, locally distinctive stickers, stickers for early voters and teeny-tiny stickers. Along the way, we learned about the issues that matter to you and your hopes for this election.

Be sure to check out our gallery with some of the best "I voted" sticker photos we received.

We still have 10 to go: D.C., Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon and West Virginia. So if you voted in one of these states and have a sticker to prove it, be sure to upload it to iReport.

Check out the stickers we've gotten from all these different states. The boxes below show one sticker from each state, in alphabetical order from left to right and top to bottom. In the cases where we didn't have a sticker for the state, we used a placeholder image.

States A-I:

In the image above (left to right, top to bottom), we have Alabama,Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, an especially cool one from California; Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Iowa.

Our growing sticker collection inspired a bit of competition among iReporters once they saw what other locations were giving out.

"Alabama gets a white square paper sticker with two colors of ink," said Kevin Halbrook, 32, of Northport, Alabama. "They could have at least made the flag appear to be blowing in the wind. Maybe if Alabamians would wise up and stop opposing a lottery we could get better stickers."

STATES K-N:

In the image above (left to right, top to bottom), we have Kentucky, Maine, a regal-looking flag sticker from Baltimore, Maryland, and ones from Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico and New York.

Then there were voters like Bryan Johnson from West Orange, New Jersey, who did his civic duty yesterday only to find the polling station sticker-free.

"For the fourth consecutive election my local polling place did NOT have 'I Voted' stickers," Johnson wrote. "Every election I bring it up, and they always look at me like I'm crazy."

STATES N-V:

The oval sticker with the American flag dominated the end of the alphabet. In the image above (left to right, top to bottom), we have North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina's tiny shadow of a sticker, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia and Washington state.

Amelia Hall in South Carolina said her sticker was so little -- smaller than a dime, in fact -- that she had to wear it on her nose for anyone to see. Brad Willis of Greenville, South Carolina said the tiny sticker "somehow symbolized my role in the election process." A polling worker told him the state had  downsized the stickers this year. When we pointed out the tiny stickers on Twitter, user Phil Mok suggested that South Carolina is "trying to be more environmentally friendly."

And finally, from left to right, we have those ubiquitous oval 'I Voted' stickers in Wisconsin and Wyoming. We were surprised to see greater numbers of these stickers at the end of the alphabet.

Thanks to everyone who contributed! Now, let's see if we can get stickers from all 50 states. Share your sticker photos, and post your thoughts in the comments area below.
