York, PA – The Cultural Alliance of York County and the County of York have selected one winning design from submissions by K-12 grade students for York’s “I Voted!” stickers to be used in the November 4, 2025 General Election and the 2026 Primary Election.
The selected design was created by Christopher Dasir, a 5th-grade student at Logos Academy (image attached). His artwork was chosen from three finalists by a panel that included local educators, a Judge of Elections, and local artists. Sticker selection was based on whether the artwork uniquely represented York County and remained impactful and legible at a small scale. The quality of Christopher’s design was standout among all others. His design will be printed on 2-inch commemorative stickers for distribution at polling places and the York County Elections Office.
The other finalists were:
o Aliana Alicea, 6-8th grade from York Academy Regional Charter School
o Jewel Keeny, 9-12th grade homeschool student
“This was a tough decision for our panel,” shared Kelley Gibson, President of the Cultural Alliance of York County. “We had so many talented submissions that really showcased the uniqueness of York County and civic pride in our elections process by these students.”
“Identifying opportunities to engage our future voters is important,” stated President Commissioner Julie Wheeler. “This contest was an innovative way for students to showcase their artistic talent and learn about voting. We received such great responses from voters to the designed stickers during last year’s Presidential Election that we knew we wanted to continue the competition.”
York County voters will receive the I Voted sticker at their local polling place when they cast their ballot on Tuesday, November 4th 2025 or when they turn in their ballot at the York County Elections office.
