Louisiana - Louisiana Secretary of States Office
Program Title
Mark DBallot
Program Summary
Since 2016, the Louisiana Secretary of States Office has partnered with renowned Louisiana artists to create one-of-a-kind I Voted stickers each year that highlight the States rich culture and patriotic spirit. In previous years, the office has highlighted works by George Rodrigue and Becky Fos to create stickers that voters from all walks of life cherish. In 2024, Secretary of State Nancy Landry enlisted Academy and Emmy Award-winning illustrator William Joyce. Mr. Joyce is a Shreveport, Louisiana native responsible for animating films and television shows such as Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Meet the Robinsons, and Rolie Polie Olie. The sticker features a dapper crawfish named Mark DBallot wearing a top hat with tails and spats. About designing the sticker, Mr. Joyce said: While making it, I thought about how it feels to vote. For me, it feels fantastic, like I matter, like I make a difference. Mr. Joyces design was animated and has been used in advertisements and promotions by the Department of State to improve voter participation. Just as in years past, the 2024 I Voted sticker is uniquely Louisiana and received acclaim from voters across the state and nation.
