Stickers are also an increasingly popular voter information item. These can come in any variety of shapes and sizes, from relatively small stickers that might be used to adorn school notebooks and children's items, to larger stickers that might be posted to public transport, utility poles, or information boards, to stickers specifically designed for the bumpers of cars. How much information can be included will depend upon the size of the sticker. Smaller stickers will not be able to accommodate very complex designs or a lot of words, perhaps a logo and a slogan only. Additional information, such as the date, time, and type of voting might be added to larger stickers.
Stickers tend to be a big hit with younger voters and can be distributed through schools and universities, through civil society organisations, and at special events as well as part of mixed-media packages that might include t-shirts, posters, comic books, and so on. Stickers are also very useful in creating a buzz about en event or election related activity such as voter registration. While a sticker may be too small to contain the full message, it could contain just one word that will draw the attention of the public to other materials in the package such as banners and bill boards. Many countries also use stickers with the proclamation "I Voted" as a means of demonstrating pride among those who have cast their ballots and motivating those who have yet to do so.
If stickers are to be posted in public areas, whether on buses, poles, buildings, bus stops, or in metro stations, educators may want to double check election laws and local ordinances to ensure that this is not a problem. Some companies have exclusive rights to advertising in and on public transport and produce their own, specially sized stickers, for designated locations.
