Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin has unveiled the commissioned design for the 2023 “I Voted” sticker that features art by Jefferson Parish artist Becky Fos.
The unveiling ceremony took place at the Louisiana State Archives.
The artwork for this year’s sticker is titled “Confidence.”
“We are extremely grateful to Ms. Fos for creating another beautiful, original work of art to grace Louisiana’s ‘I Voted’ stickers for the second year in a row,” Ardoin said in a news release. “Her expressive use of color provides a creative twist on iconic Louisiana imagery.”
Voters will receive the stickers when they vote at the polls for the October 14 Gubernatorial Primary Election, as well as the November 18 Gubernatorial General Election.
“Through her art, (Fos) celebrates New Orleans and the wildlife that inhabits the nearby swamps and bayous,” her website biography reads. “She uses her palatte knife to depict New Orleans’ street musicians, historical figures, prominent architecture, and the beauty that envelops her. Her canvases depict radiant, deep-hued oysters in a rainbow of colors too beautiful to eat, and her pelicans and alligators are adorned with crowns, celebrating their iconic status. These hallmarks capture the imaginations of collectors around the world.”
Ardoin encourages voters to check their voter registration and make any necessary updates before the fall elections. Log into the GeauxVote online voter portal at voterportal.sos.la.gov.
