Remember the Werewolf?

You remember it, right? One of nine winners in the 2024 contest, the sticker featured a howling werewolf tearing its shirt off in full patriotic glory. It didn’t just show up at the polls. It went viral on TikTok, got featured by Buzzfeed and The Washington Post, and some people were even trying to sell them on eBay.

The Michigan Department of State, led by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, is inviting Michiganders of all ages to submit designs for the stickers voters will receive at the polls this November.
