What’s wrong with a little gamification to encourage civic responsibility?
Comment on Is including one of these with every ballot really cheaper than a sticker?

That’s like asking for an elephant stamp for wiping your butt after going to the toilet.
Voting isn’t an accomplishment, it’s your duty and the reward is the society you live in.

So that’s why I’ve done it my entire adult life. I always wondered.

It acts like a reminder to everyone else that voting is open and you should go do it

You’re just jealous you didn’t get the awesome stickers Michigan did this year.

I’m not eligible to vote in your country. In mine, voting is mandatory and there are no stickers, just democracy sausages to aid in the funding for local polling places like schools and community halls.

Okay, I think what I’ve learned today is that I now need both a sticker of a werewolf tearing its shirt off and screaming “I VOTED!” and a voting sausage.
The world is such a delightful place sometimes.

Disagree, as a society we should embrace rewarding good behavior with stickers. You don’t have to wear it or take it if you don’t want it.
