when i've gotten my absentee ballot package in the past (which is every election i've ever voted in), they always include the little oval sticker saying "I voted!" with the American flag on it. i guess since King County is trying to get everyone to vote my absentee, they've decided not to waste money on stickers or something. i dunno. i never actually wore my sticker or anything. i've just been seeing other people post pictures of their stickers for the past week or so and wondered why i didn't get one. i'm silly. : )
the election in 2006 Eric and I waited 45 minutes in line to vote, and when we got up there the worker had given the last sticker to the child of the person in front of us. It is completely irrational (and I understand why he did) but I was so upset! I wanted my sticker, and a very irrational and immature part of me thought "That kid can't even vote! It's a lie!"
they use them as a way to encourage more people to vote. or rather to remind people to vote when they see all the other people walkng around with stickers on. hmmm...maybe you'd remember to vote if you got stickers in the UK. : )

I truly believe that voting is your civic duty and a wonderful right, but part of me just feels like the sticker is the best part!
That would be my inner child I think :P
