WORCESTER, MA — Worcester is offering a way to participate in the November 2024 election — even if you're too young to vote.

The city this week launched the Create The Vote campaign seeking designs for stickers that will be handed out to voters who cast a ballot on Nov. 5. Any Worcester resident is welcome to submit up to three sticker designs using the phrase "My vote counts." The city will print stickers with the most common languages spoken here, including Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Vietnamese.

"After the tremendous success of our 2020 'Create the Vote' public campaign, which distributed over 55,000 stickers featuring designs by eight local artists, we are thrilled to partner with the Election Commission again to reactivate this creative voter engagement initiative," Assistant Cultural Development Officer Yaffa Fain said in a news release.
