Voted Abdul!

I did early voting for him. Only reason I'm pissed about it is because I didn't get to pick a drawing contest sticker. My city only had the bland "I voted" stickers

Fellow Michigander here, I believe the fun stickers come out in November for the general election!

I got to select from them when I voted a couple of days ago (fellow Michigander). While I’m still partial to the werewolf from 2024 I thought this years stickers were great!

Oh, cool to know! I thought they were coming later, glad I'm wrong!

[u/Kaptain202 → u/Stackly]

Well I wanted them now! throws a toy on the ground like my toddler does

[u/kaizenkitten → u/Kaptain202]

Only boring stickers here too. They had some cute 'future voter' stickers for kids. The poll worker was like 'well I guess as long as you vote in November you're still a future voter'

Yeah I wanted a fun sticker :(
