Can a Viral āI Votedā Sticker Contest Boost Election Turnout?
Dittus, the election board commissioner, said the county is excited to see whether the contest impacts its overall election turnout in November. In the meantime, the county is using attention itās been given to inform voters of a special election and primary voting happening on August 23. Voters arenāt used to going out in mid-August, Dittus explained, and itās been challenging to let them know itās happening.
Ulster County will give out the five runner-up stickers during the August election, Dittus said. When asked about her favorite design, she remained coy.
āI actually havenāt voted in the contest, lol. Iāll remain impartial as a good elections official,ā Dittus said.
