In an election year filled with memes and “vibes,” even the traditional “I Voted” sticker is getting a makeover. 

Michigan has approved nine new stickers that voters can wear after casting their ballots. The winning entries in the state’s first “I Voted” design contest range from funny and cute to downright quirky.
