NYC Reveals Special 'I Voted' Sticker Designs for Halloween Election Weekend

Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, New York City's Board of Elections unveiled a fun set of thematic 'I Voted' sticker designs tailored to the unique weekend. Voters casting ballots on Halloween, October 31, receive a sticker featuring New York's beloved city pigeon wearing a witch's hat — a nod to the holiday. Additional designs include a marathon-themed sticker honouring the 50th anniversary of the TCS NYC Marathon's five-borough course, and a special 'future voters' sticker for children who accompany parents to polling sites. The reveal generated substantial buzz on social media amid a weekend of record early-voting turnout: citywide early voting had already surpassed the entire 2022 midterm early-voting total with two days to spare. Early voting on Halloween runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at sites across the five boroughs. The sticker tradition, which has previously featured Knicks and FIFA World Cup designs, has become a beloved way the city adds personality to civic participation and encourages first-time and younger voters to engage with the electoral process.
