Two Unique Accessible Braille Stickers for Voters
Program Summary
The 2024 general election in Palm Beach County included a groundbreaking initiative, introducing two Braille I Voted stickers. This effort was designed to ensure all voters in Palm Beach County could experience the pride of receiving their I Voted sticker when casting their ballot. The new initiative was launched in partnership with Pyramid, Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides visual and performing arts training programs for individuals with disabilities. The result of this collaboration is an innovative and vibrant sticker that captures the essence of Palm Beach County while promoting diversity and inclusion for all voters. The first sticker shows a pink flamingo (a Florida icon) front and center, with its wing forming the American Sign Language sign for "I voted." Oranges and orange blossoms decorate the background, and a sunset over the water, with palm trees, adds to the tropical, beachy vibe. The word Voted is written in a white script, standing out against the sunset. The second sticker features a patriotic theme with the "O" in VOTED replaced by a stylized American flag. A raised hand with an extended index finger to the left symbolizes civic action, and above "VOTED" are Braille dots, making it inclusive and accessible. Palm trees at the bottom tie in Palm Beachs coastal identity. A bold red, white, and blue color scheme reflects American national pride.
